Beaufort, NC pronounced (bow-fort) is the third oldest town in NC. Sometimes referred to as the Southern Outer Banks. It's a popular destination for tourists and second home owners who populate the town during the summer months. This once active seaport is not only loaded with history, but today offers restaurants, sites, museums, and galleries … Continue reading Beaufort-by-the-Sea
Nancy was second guessing her choice of destination on this leg, each time we passed a marina she would say "oh, we should have stayed here" and I kept saying "the one you picked will be great". The rock pile is a several mile stretch of river with underwater rocks on both sides that you … Continue reading Myrtle Beach
Traveled 38 miles today on the ICW, with sunny skies and no wind to speak of, it was pretty much a carefree cruising day. The shores of ICW in NC are lined with many beautiful homes each one with its own long dock to the water. The waterway had some shallow spots (shoaling) at the … Continue reading Cape Fear River

All that plus our kids were arriving from MN and the dockmaster at the Charleston Harbor and Resort said that if we didn't get there before 1 … Continue reading Charming Charleston
The next stop was Beaufort, SC. Pronounced "Bew Fort” and not to be confused with Beaufort, NC, pronounced "Bow Fort", or "Boh Fort" , we will be going there too. Spelled the same, named after the same Duke of Beaufort but you better make sure you pronounce each correctly or you'll quickly get corrected by … Continue reading What are the odds . . .
Since we made the decision to skip Hilton Head and go to Savannah instead, we didn't want to forfeit a resort marina for a city, so we compromised and chose to dock at the Westin Savannah. Located right off the ICW up the Savannah River 6 miles and right across from the city, we thought … Continue reading Georgia’s First City
