Following the recommendation of Capt. Dennis, we left St. Catherine's Sound bound for the ocean and Port Royal Sound. Much more breezy today so the inlets were bumpy but the remainder of the trip was pleasant. We tied up at the downtown Beaufort, SC marina by early afternoon so we had time to take a walk and admire some of the pre-Civil War and pre-Revolutionary War homes. This is one of the most beautiful towns in the South with its antebellum homes and 1000 year old oaks. The azaleas and camellias are in full bloom adding to the beauty. Historians say Beaufort is the second oldest town in South Carolina but Beaufort natives claim that it is older than St. Augustine. We especially enjoyed visiting with Anne & Lamarr Cooler at their beautiful new home. Their daughter's weekend wedding brought family members from far-flung places. We were delighted to share in some of the festivity. Best wishes to Laurie and Will!
Teri, we haven't met but I know your guests Margaret and Jon. Best wishes for a safe trip. No doubt it will be a "once in a lifetime" adventure. Jon, post lots of pictures.

Awesome house, but I'm still waiting for inside pics of the boat.
