Marina
Last
weekend we made the rounds to our favorite places one more time. Friday was a
beautiful day, so we spent the afternoon riding our bikes through town, eating
a late lunch, watching people at the Market and soaking in the sights. We love
this town and it might be a long time before we are back this way. Pearlz has
always been our favorite place to go on Fridays for happy hour, although any
day is just as fun. We met five other cruising couples there and had a
wonderful time. In fact we had so much fun visiting that we planned a dock
party for Saturday evening. We met at the Maritime Center Marina, where two of
the other couples are docked...we shared lots of good food, stories and laughs.
The best part of cruising has always been the people we meet.
We
are one step closer to releasing the lines and moving south...yesterday we
rented a car and moved our car to Jacksonville. It was a rainy cold day...not
the best day to be on the road, but not a good day to be on the boat either.
Our trip down in the morning wasn't too bad, we only had heavy rain when we got
to the sunny state of Florida. We have friends that are in the area, so we had
a nice lunch aboard Amalia before we headed back. It's always fun to run into
friends. Our trip back to Charleston was slow...lots of traffic and rain. It
felt nice to be back on the boat and relax.
Our
plan is to leave Charleston on Wednesday and move towards the St. John's River
in northern Florida. Once we get to Jacksonville we will drive home for a short
visit. When we return to the boat we will spend a month or so exploring the St.
John's River. After that...who knows!
Taking a carriage tour is one of the most popular things to do in Charleston.
Fun at Pearlz
