History and Houses
The houses and the history make one think. I especially enjoyed the Robert Small escape on boat story. Better still was him back in town still keeping things right. A letter from his northern friend during a difficult time makes one really appreciate the soul of the seas and the reference to us.

BEAUTIFUL Beaufort, SC
The ride from Hilton Head to Beaufort was wonderful and beautiful. Such a deep waterway and river. Beautiful sailboats an scenes. The new item we decided to try on this trip, since it was short, was towing the dingy. It went very well but it is not a favorite thing. Docking requires a retie on…

Skull Creek Marina, Hilton Head

Peanut Island
We made it to Peanut Island on the dingy. Since it is Friday, a lot of other people were also ferrying over to the Island. We managed to walk around to the snorkling cove.

West Palm Lazy Days
Another tricky slip to dock for a few days at more of a boat yard vs a marina. Beggers cant be choosers. Highlights:
