This is one of the homes along the waterfront of Charleston. Last year we spent several days in Charleston feasting our eyes on the many visual delights that this city provides. This year we breezed by in a large group of sailboats that had all passed through the Ben Sawyer swing bridge north of the harbor at the same opening. There seems to be so many more boats than we experienced coming down last year through the middle of the country. Of course there are many more sailboats because sailboats are of little use on the inland rivers while the coastal cruising is perfect for them on the East Coast. We made about 48 mile today and ended in Fishing Creek at mile 501.5 of the Intracoastal Waterway.
