A shout out to my sister, Susie Pettrey, who celebrates her
birthday today.
I was up a few times with the dinghy banging against the
stern behind my head, so I finally gave in at 1:30 a.m. and tied a flat fender
between the boat and the dinghy. Finally, some peaceful sleep. No alarms today,
but a seagull woke me up at 8 a.m.!
After I made pancakes and bacon for breakfast, we took Jazzy
for a walk to the hardware store to buy oil for the next oil change. Then we
went across the street to Harris Teeter
and Chuck stayed outside with her while I picked up a
few things that I didn’t get the other night. We took our purchases back to the
boat and left Jazzy there.

Chuck and I walked around the marina and surrounding area. We saw an Irish Memorial, a granite map of Ireland. Then we walked into downtown Charleston. We toured the Old Slave Mart Museum, known as Ryan’s
Mart, the last standing building in Charleston where slaves were sold. It was a
depressing place. I’m glad we didn’t live in those times. We had lunch at
Queology Competition BBQ, where we split a rack of ribs, cole slaw and potato
salad and some Coors Light. It was delicious!
We toured through all the vendors in the Charleston Market,
a series of buildings in the middle of the street. I resisted buying anything.
I got another load of laundry done when we returned to the
marina. No dinner tonight. We’re still full from lunch!
Tomorrow: South Edisto River Anchorage
