After a day spent going across the river to Patriots Point through the WWII battleship/aircraft carrier Yorktown (with its Medal of Honor Museum), the destroyer Laffey, and submarine Clamagore, we wound up our Charleston trip and prepared to head north. The vessels were really interesting and the museum more so—we were fascinated (me for 3 hours, Fitz for 4 hours and he could have gone longer). Fellow loopers-Donna and Dan Hardy were docked next to us and we got together with them for Happy Hour and to swap experiences and advice. They have actually been around the world twice on their sailboat so we mostly listened. We are both traveling north so we hope to see them some more. The cruise to Georgetowne, SC took 8 hours through uneventful waters. I bet we might have passed 5 boats –we saw an eagle and about a dozen dolphin, lots of seagulls. The horseflies were out in force but it seems they only like Fitz so he went on a mission to kill as many as possible. We get Classic Rock Radio out of Myrtle Beach with some good Allman Brothers and Eric Clapton. Nice, quiet day after a hectic stay in Charleston. Happy Birthday to son-in-law Scott Norris back in Tennessee. He is a great husband to our Kate and father to Leeton and Holden. We love him and glad he is part of our family!
