Charleston

What a lovely town! Like Georgetown this place is the antithesis of Myrtle Beach. It is a smorgasboard of lovely architecture. I may try and stay another day. The only challenge is that the marina is booked solid for tomorrow and the anchorage is a bit sketchy. One thing that is rather hilarious is that the marina put me on the mega dock, where all the megayachts congregate to see and be seen. The boat next to me is a 120 foot Benetti, with  a Feadship at least that big next in line. Both of these boats are at least 10 million dollars. And there are at least a half dozen more, probably in the 90 foot range, and another dozen at 80. Sandwiched in between is the humble looking White Seal, looking a bit out of place. But also on the mega dock, I met another Vermonter, with whom I had a great visit. He has the second smallest boat on the dock. But we are ok with it all. We don't have full time crews to keep everything shiny, but we sure get a lot of good use from our boats.

Best, Charlie
