Charleston, South Carolina

Some more photos of the Intracoastal - it varies so much from hour to hour - one minute you're crowded in from both sides with oppressive trees and brush and mangroves - the next you're in the middle of an endless lake, hardly able to see from one side to the other - it's amazing!






CHARLESTON!!!
The circle marks where we are anchored (click on THIS),

after about 9 hours of motoring from where we anchored last night - Mosquitoville as we called it - we were in the middle of nowhere, in a narrow part of the river, with mozzies bombarding us in their hundreds down below. Phillip chased after them and to my amazement, he got rid of every single one. At one point, when I went into our bedroom, with all the mozzies in there it sounded like a choir! So Phillip went in and did his duty. We didn't have a spray, so I just listened for the sound of hand-claps coming from the bedroom. Not one was left. I have never been so pleased to have him around. My hero.

Here he is, the Mosquito Terminator.


Charleston!



We're here!!!

We arrived at 4 pm, wind was howling (up to 25 miles an hour) - dropped anchor, got out the frozen margaritas and beer and humus and crackers and are enjoying happy hour!
