Parris Island Marine training camp in Beaufort, SC

Regatta going on as we enter Beaufort. Dozens of the little guys, IN OUR WAY!!!!!

We were able to get through without running over anyone, but Gypsies came real close a couple of times. After yelling at one that turned and stopped in front of them, the sailor answered "but I'm still racing". Their answer was, "you won't win the race if we run you over" You don't want to stop in front of 30 some tons coming at you

Our trip to Beaufort was on Saturday, so it was a little crowded on the ICW. That's Gypsies in the front of the pack with five boats ready to pass.
