Nov 21 Church Creek Anchorage
After a short pretty ride down the Stono River, we anchored in Church Creek, just off the ICW. We're getting used to the strong tidal currents and doing "360's" on the anchor.
Just a quick overnight stop
on our way to Beaufort (that's bew-fort in SC, as opposed to bow-fort in NC). We spent the next 3 nights in Port Royal Landing Marina, another great spot. Grocery, West Marine and a fresh fish market within walking distance and a courtesy car to downtown Beaufort.
Between bouts of rain, we walked through neighborhoods of homes dating to the early 1700's, including one used as Forrest Gump's home in the movie. Garry risked life and limb to get this shot. It's a private home surrounded by an electrified fence!
We also found The Chocolate Tree candy shop ("life is like a box of chocolates")!
We've fallen in love with the huge live oaks (so named because they remain green year round) draped with Spanish moss (neither Spanish nor moss!) that line the streets and surround these lovely homes with their signature porches.
In one of the many unique shops, we discovered a great high folding teak chair -- perfect for the helm --- so perfect the matching boats now have matching helm seats!
We'll be adding this to our list of favorite stops!
