Blog, Blog, Blog

We are on the road, back to the boat.
We wanted to start the blog once we got to the boat; but no ..... the natives are restless.
We left Canada a week ago Thursday and have been making our way down to boat. Took a shortcut to South Carolina. First stop to visit with Kathy and Martin at Surfside Beach which is very close to Myrtle Beach. They gave us the tour and then we had dinner out. We tried to stay up to watch the Oscars but had to retire before the end because Martin and Kathy were falling asleep. They had a 7:30 am golf game scheduled.
Then we were off to see if we could find Jim and Linda Murray, Edisto Island South Carolina. They couldn't hide; we found them. Even though we arrived unannounced, they invited us to stay 2 nights with them. They took us to tour Charleston and then the following day a tour of Edisto Island. Their southern hospitality is amazing and they made it very hard to leave. They have a beautiful southern plantation home. The driveway looks like something out of Gone with the Wind. Driveway lined with live oaks draped with french moss. We are surprised they can pry themselves away for their boat trip.
Cypress Trees Plantation is right on the intercoastal waterway, too bad for them because we will want to return and visit on our way back home.
For a $10. finders fee we will tell anyone how to reach them.
Currently writing from Valdosta on our way to Alabama.
