November 15

The predicted high winds showed up today. Winds were reaching 35+ mph and were throwing us around and slowing our progress. They were predicted to continue into the night and next morning. As we waited at Lady Island Swing Bridge just north of Beaufort, I called Eagle's Wings and told them that, instead of just stopping for a couple of hours in Beaufort, we were going to secure a slip for the evening. They agreed and we went into the marina. We went to a nearby restaurant and had a nice lunch, followed by some window shopping and an ice cream cone for me. Later while I read on the boat, the others walked miles to and from a K-Mart where they made some purchases. The photo shows the waterfront at Beaufort (Bew-fert) SC.
