week 10 home for Christmas

This is a pretty park on the waterfront in Beaufort SC

You can see the marina in the background

Yes those are poinsettias planted with the pansies

Update.....for the last 2 weeks the short of it

The weather cold and wind held us up for a week so in the end we decided to stay put in SC as the calendar was catching up with us. The marina was nice enough to deduct our daily rate for the last week from the monthly saving us big bucks. FYI if you stay say 10 days at a marina (or so) it equates to what a month would cost. When we left SC it was 70 degrees the warmest in 2 weeks.

So now SweetPea is in SC and we rented a car for 2 weeks and are in Ma for Christmas. And wouldn't you know we arrive home to the first real snow of the season (go figure). Tis the season and lots to do, luckily Ashley and I put the tree up at Thanksgiving and did some shopping for gifts then as well. I also did alot of online shopping from the boat and shopped at shops that ship.

Jim and I will be hosting Christmas dinner so still tons to do. Tonight we are going out to the Sandbar a local pub to see our friend who is the piano man there, so it Christmas music and cheer!

Jim just got the computer back from the Apple store so here are some pictures........

Day58 Charleston SC

Entering Charleston Harbour

Homes on the ICW

Downtown Charleston

Beautiful home on the waterway to Charleston

SO peaceful and beautiful in every direction

as far as the eye can see

Just SweetPea and this view !

We have been in Charleston for a couple of days and it is really nice here, lots to do and most of my Christmas shopping is done. We are at the Harbourage at Ashley Marina in downtown it is nice to have use of a courtesy van to pick us up and drop us off. It is very strange to us to see all the holiday decoration and palm trees, just something we are not use too. It has been quite cool here about 20 degrees cooler than the, norm tomorrow promises to be in the 60's so we will head out and continue further south. Beaufort SC is the next stop then after that we will be in Savannah Georgia, (Saturday) the weatherman is saying it should be 70 degrees we shall see. Our internet connection still is not great and we are having trouble with the Apple computer so again pictures will have to wait.

Day 56 Georgetown SC

Yes! We finally moved, we traveled 55miles and are now in Georgetown, tomorrow we move on to Charlestown SC. Due to the Coooolllld and the calendar we will just be making pit-stops (1 nightstands) till we reach Florida. We will be in the sunshine state Thursday hopefully. It was brrrrrrr today and more of the same tomorrow, at least the sun is shining but the wind is howlin too. The internet connection is not the best so pictures will be added with tomorrows post.

Day 54? Myrtle Beach

We have been back from our trip home for Thanksgiving. Hel....lo baby its cold outside. AS we now prepare ourselfs and the boat to move on down the waterway, we are rethinking our travel plans. We will travel south in search of warmer weather that we know. But where is our next destination? Further south to ports unknown. I guess we will know when we get there. Stay Tuned!
Jim got his new anchor today and will install it tomorrow, now we can anchor out and hopefully sleep on the hook. Options are a good thing. We are planning on leave MB in the next couple of days, it will be a day to day thing, ideally the plan is to travel a min of 50 miles a day and if weather cooperates the more miles traveled the better.
