An interesting day, we started in Charleston, after an overnight stay at a city marina.
The Marina was right downtown but respectably quiet and sheltered.
Then across the bay to a “Guess where?” P. G. T. Beauregard made this place famous one dark night and it’s still something of a shrine.
A friend met us on a highway bridge about and an hour out of Charleston, his picture of us I will include when I get it.
In the channel North, we bridged the extremes, at first sighting this was an old tug pushing a small tug backwards down towards us, but as we got closer there it was, an ancient small tug with a larger even more rusty tug backwards on the brow pushing northward, a big rusty tug to us, but a prized upgrade for the small tug owner.
Not ten miles north we saw a mile or two of million dollar homes packed onto tiny lots along the waterway.
Finally into Myrtle Beach and one more encounter with a low bridge. We called and requested an opening, but will he open?
Yes, just in time,
and we are barely through and he’s closing up already,
and so am I, until later.

Excellent LW, keep em coming.
P. G. T. Beauregard and Fort Sumter?
Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard, sometimes spelled as Toutant-Beauregard, was a popular commander during the Civil War who fired on Fort Sumter (Charleston Harbor), won the battle of Manassas (Bull Run), nearly destroyed Ulysses S. Grant at the Battle of Shiloh, commanded the defenses of Charleston Harbor and played a pivotal role in the defense of Petersburg. The flamboyant Frenchman, who had serious personal issues with Confederate President Jefferson Davis, was also a politician and writer.
