We are at the Cooper River Marina in Charleston, a clean spot with great staff but it's way out of the way.
However Tom and Sharon have rolled out the welcome mat and are treating us to three days of car usage. What luxury!
We arrived Thursday and left the boat in a mess but ran into Charleston with them, had a tour of the city with Sharon after Tom went to work. Then, Elizabeth and I had a chance to go to the College of Charleston, where Tom is a faculty member, to hear Greg Mortensen speak. He's the author of Three Cups of Tea and Stones into School. He spoke of his efforts to bring peace through education, particularly girls' education, in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Elizabeth had read the children's version of Three Cups of Tea and really enjoyed his talk.
Off to bed and then Friday we went to Magnolia Plantation after a morning of errands.
More on that later.

Hello Messanger....Folie A Deux here. Glad you got a car, we stocked up in New Bern, NC -- I joke with the kids "time to go shopping under the bunk for snacks"
We are leaving St. Augustine tomorrow. We hope to have American Thanksgiving in Freeport Bahamas. We will leave a "Spot" location crumb at each of our overnight stops on Eric's web site/blog. www.familysailing.me
Hey Messenger
Hope you're having as much fun on your trip as we are in following it.
Out of interest, is there an aircraft carrier near your present marina in Charleston?
We were there once while on a trip to Kiawah Island.
There was an aircraft carrier near us at Cooper River Marina.It's a bit of a spooky spot with lots of industrial buildings and Homeland Security training office etc. Staff were great though.
