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.

Streets of Charleston.


One of our old haunts, Mad River Bar and Grill. Found this place two years ago with who else, Doug and Tammy.


It's in a converted church. "Forgiving sins 12 oz. at a time."

Finding time

It has been hard finding time to blog. I decided that yesterday, because we would be at anchor, I would have time. NOT! First, it was a swim off the back of September Song, then put the tender in to rescue them as they floated too far away from the boat. Well, while we have Half Note in the water, we should get out the boogie board and I could pull them around in the anchorage. After fun in the water, it was time for dinner (chicken tenders, ribs, and salad, it was time for another swim. You get the picture. I did part of the blog last night, then finished today before we raised the anchor.
We started our cruise at Blackbeard where we played for two days. We would have stayed for another day, but the boys had enough sun for now. (red bodies) From Blackbeard it was off to Savannah for two nights, then off for a one night stay at Beaufort, SC. From there we headed to the anchorage we are in as I blog.
I think they are enjoying the stops, but the six to seven hours of cruising to the next stop are a little long for them.
Today we put the pointy end North again.
Remember, you may need to click on older posts to see the entire post.

September Song (see you in Charleston) out

When the boys arrived, we saw them, but they didn't see us. We followed them for a while to see what they would do.


We decided to let them know we were here before they freaked out.
