APRIL 10-12: BEAUFORT, SOUTH CAROLINA

April 10:  Time to leave Savannah.  Our destination today is Beaufort, South Carolina.   A 67 mile run which for us means a long day so again we were up and ready to depart as soon as the sun rose.  Savannah is close to the border with South Carolina so we crossed into new territory.  Below is a GPS shot of how the Inter Coastal Water (ICW) winds its way through the low countryside of South Carolina.

The weather is predicted to be unsettled for the next two days so we elected to spend three nights in Beaufort.  We played tourist on the first day as rain was promised for the morrow.  Beaufort is a quaint town that has retained much of its Antebellum architecture.  The following are examples that have survived the Civil War, hurricanes and several widespread fires.

 Beautiful, old live oaks dot the town.

 I think the Captain has found a new first mate!
