November 18th- Beaufort, SC

We decided to extend our stay and see more of Beaufort. The downtown area is further from the grocery/ resupply stores but we’ve been experimenting with Instacart (a delivery service). It’s worked well for us. We have most of the food staples delivered to the boat.

Our last day in Beaufort was spent having lunch and touring some of Beaufort’s historic sites with our cruising friends from SV SMAC.

This bar was closed at the time but I was intrigued. This was the only signage.

The nights are getting cold. The woodstove has been burning every evening. Time to get moving south. If the weather works out we’ll probably spend a couple days on Jekyll island.

Onward!

November 19th- Beaufort SC to Turner Creek/ Savannah GA

A chilly sunrise. We headed down the Beaufort River, passed the Paris Island Marine base, and pointed our bow toward Georgia. There are some very shallow spots on the Georgia ICW but seven foot tides help the passage.

Our day ended in Turners Creek. There is a convenient dock and boat ramp for Ollie’s commando raids. It’s technically in Savannah but we haven’t toured the city yet. Maybe next time.

The dock is under a highway.
