CODA BACK IN THE THE USA 2025 (84).

CODA : More changes in latitude.  Exploring South Carolina continues.

4 April 2025 

Lady's Island Marina, Beaufort, South Carolina 

Our overnight stop in Beaufort, South Carolina.

Marc-  I think we really needed to stop at this marina for its advertised "beauty & wellness".  We were all used up after traveling 70 miles in high humidity and 80 degree temperatures for yet another day.  Winds were consistently 10-15 knots from the southeast which is very helpful for boaters heading north.   Stopping here allowed us to have air conditioning last night a great cool off.  The facilities here are better than most marinas meaning good showers and laundry.  They also have a nice restaurant.  

This morning I met with Dee and Lee Anderson who own a Victory Tugboat and are traveling north.  We were both trying to borrow the marina van and they had reserved it for 09:00.  Fortunately they said we could join them in shopping at Publix.  The Andersons know Will and Kathleen Patten who also own a Victory Tugboat.

The Anderson's Victory Tugboat, Jack Robert.

One of many tugboat we see on the ICW.

Low tide here at Lady's Island Marina.

We still seem to be leading the snowbirds north and it's remarkable that no trawler of sailboat passed us.
We are anchored at Church Creek just South of Charleston tonight.
