The architecture is intriguing in Charleston
Homes were originally built sideways to the street to keep
taxes
lower, as property was taxed based on street frontage.
The Battery in Charleston

Sailing up the ICW is often like living in an IMAX film.
Nature is all around you, in sweeping 360 degree views.
Dave, still smiling
It feels weird sometimes to be sailing so close to the
marsh.

swamps
The weather in the South this time of year includes thunder
storms
OFTEN!
We 're getting good at weather forecasting with the clouds.

Guess who! Our first alligator sighting. It made us a little
nervous
that he swam amongst the boats at Barefoot Landing.
