To Bring Us Up To Date

We’re currently anchored in Beaufort, South Carolina. That’s Beaufort (bew-fort) as opposed to Beaufort (bo-fort), North Carolina. We hope not to embarrass ourselves by mixing them up again. We transited the ICW (Intracoastal Waterway, for those who hate acronyms) from Charleston to here, and passed some beautiful areas – lots of salt marshes, some extending as far as you could see, others dotted with copses of trees. The fact that there were extensive mud flats between the land and the water doesn’t deter homeowners, who build loooong docks out over the marsh grasses and mud flats to deep water, as you can see below.
