When we arrived at Charleston at mid day it was cold and rainy. Luckily we got tied up before it started to pour. After the rain let up we headed into town and hit one our favorite bars, The Mad River Bar and Grill for drinks and apps for dinner. The first thing the bar tender says is "where's Doug and Tammy" When she saw us coming, she set out three Shocktop's and a Captain and Coke thinking you were right behind us. Well, maybe it didn't happen that way, but it could have. After reminiscing, drinks, and apps, we headed back to the boat to rest up for our weekend of doing Charleston. The clouds cleared and the sun came out Saturday morning so it was off to the Farmers Market. The Farmers Market in Charleston is huge and claims to be in the top ten in the US. After eating and purchasing our way through the market, it was time to unload our stuff and hit the town. Charleston is such a great city to explore. We spent the rest of the day in town and then headed back to the boat and crashed. Sunday we will do the town again and then put the pointy end south Monday and look forward to warmer weather. "the butter is getting too hard to spread!

As we turned out of the ICW into the shipping channel into Charleston, we were met by this big guy. I think we will let him go first.

This is the bridge that crosses the shipping channel. It was a cold rainy day when we arrived. The clouds covered the top of the bridge

This is a car carrier leaving the dock by our marina. They are called Ro-Ros. They look so weird!

The boat docked next to us has a great story. You can read about it at http://www.aroundtheamericas.org/
