On the move

We left our anchorage Friday morning and headed for Isle of Palms Marina, where our good friend from Key West, Bil Krauss, was going to play Friday night. It was great to see Bil again and see his show. After he finished, he came over to September Song for a drink and catch up. (musicians are night owls) See you in Key Weird Bil!
Saturday morning we headed to Charleston where we planned to stay for the rest of the trip with the boys.
There are lots of things to do and see here in Charleston, and a bonus is that the marina has a pool. Tomorrow, we are headed to the aquarium and take the ferry to Fort Sumter where the first shot of the Civil War was fired.

Where'd ya park yer horse, Tex?

He doesn't look Australian to me.

I don't think so Senor

WWII sub we explored.

Torpedo room on the sub. Some of the crew had to sleep over the torpedos. A retired crew member told us about life on the sub. He told us that three men were assigned to one bunk. One on duty, one awake, and one sleeping in the bunk. Three shifts

Two cool dudes on the deck of the sub.

Walkway to the Yorktown.

Desert Storm mission flight simulator we rode in.

Don't shoot!

Checking out the planes on the flight deck.

How many enemy planes do you think this gun has shot down?

Boom boom boom!
