GREAT Eating in Charleston

This morning dawned EARLy -- like 6:15am!! Thanks to going back to EST. On the flip side it is pitch dark at 5:45pm!!

Today was nice but a very cool and blustery day. The big winds subsided overnight and so the rain. We actually had lots of rain last evening forcing us to postpone Farkle for the Thompson's but not the Youngsters the Turners.

We played 4 games but I only won one. Ohhh Boo Hoo.


It was 42 here this morning and maybe 40
tomorrow morning then up to 65 then 71 on Tuesday and 75 on Wednesday.

Back in the good stuff.

We are planning to head offshore from here on Tuesday and do an Overnight to
Fernandina and skip all that skinny water in lower SC and GA. Buck, Jim and I had a great planning session this afternoon.

If the forecast holds then -- out the door we go,

We will be three -- Skat, Victoria Gaye, and Temptation. Bubbles wants to
continue down the ditch. Never done it and they are looking forward to it.

At 11am we took the shuttle to Charleston's classic Hyman's Seafood on Meeting Street. It was great. The food is good and the service excellent.

Afterwards we walked 4 blocks to the Harris Teeter on Bay Street and did some more provisioning. We are good for a few weeks now.

Back at the MArina they had had a major oil leak. One of the 4" Diesel supply lines ruptured and dumped a LOT of fuel in the water. Man it really stinks here tonight.

After our planning session this afternoon I had another VERY LONG hot shower -- what an indulgence. Tomorrow it is back to the "bird bath".

My hip where I fell Friday is much improved today. Two more days and I suspect all pain will be gone. Don't know where my tough bones come from but I'm glad I have them.

Now try to find some ways to amuse ourselves during these long winter evening.
