April 25, 2011 - We began the day leisurely by just relaxing and enjoying breakfast and coffee.After raising the anchor we began to head out of the anchorage.It was low tide and we discovered that there was a nice little bump in our anchorage. The depth sounders screamed and we gently bumped the bottom.
Our trip to the marina was very short.We had won a free night at the Charleston City Marina, which we planned to fully take advantage. Charleston is one of our favorite cities to visit. This year we tied up shortly before noon and of course we were almost at the end of the mega dock 1/2mile long. We were just in time to watch an 80 foot wooden sailboat being towed off the dock.
In the afternoon, we were debating whether to grab the shuttle and venture into town or just hang out on the dock. Both of us were travelled out and needed to just spend a day catching up on small chores. One of the chores involved getting our computer up and running. Unfortunately, Dick spent 3 hours on the phone with the computer gurus,, and its still not working properly. In fact, it's running much slower and freezes. Frustrated we put the computer away, this is when we really wished for a little more computer knowledge.
In the evening we joined Susan and Jay aboard their boat Sails (MTOA members) for a glass of wine and great conversation.
