We left Charleston around 7:30 a.m. The Cooper River was
eerily smooth. We went through Wappoo Creek Bridge at 8:30 a.m. I was tired, so
I napped during the day. Not much going on today. We DID see lots of dolphins,
though.
We had planned to anchor tonight, but it was too early when
we got to the anchorage, so we are staying at B & B Seafood dock. We stayed
here when we traveled with Bum’s Rest. It’s only $25 for the night and they
sell fresh shrimp. I bought 3 lbs. and made a new dish for dinner. It was
delicious!
I peeled the shrimp, sprinkled them with fresh ground pepper,
kosher salt and a little fresh lemon juice. Then I sautéed fresh minced garlic
with a pinch of paprika in olive oil, added the shrimp, turned them over. Then I
added diced tomatoes, chopped artichoke hearts, a little lemon zest and a
little lemon juice. I added crumbled
feta cheese and mixed in Farfalle pasta. I let it sit covered while we ate our
Caesar salad and that helped melt the feta.
I also discovered that if I boil water, dump the pasta in
and turn off the burner, I can cover it tightly and the pasta cooks in the hot
water and it saves propane!
Tomorrow: Beaufort, SC (pronounced Bew-fort, not to be
confused with Beaufort, NC, pronounced Bow-fort)
