After days of grey skies, we enjoyed a beautiful, sunny day here in Charleston today! We arrived yesterday afternoon at the Ashley Marina, and have enjoyed meeting some of the friendly liveaboards here. Today we walked along the Battery, and through part of old Historic Charleston, admiring some outstanding examples of southern architecture and the palm trees!
This evening we enjoyed a delicious Thanksgiving dinner with the Ishmael crew on their boat; turkey and all the trimmings. (Karen forgot to bring the shrimp we had planned for an appetizer..whoops! We have enjoyed shrimp several times recently, purchased fresh from local shrimp boats. Wow! What a difference from what one buys, frozen, at the supermarket back home.)
We will be here another couple of days, as we are having our prop repitched. A great place to be stuck; lots to do and see here!! And the weather forecast is for more sun!
More to follow; we hope all our friends and family have had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.

Happy Thanksgiving to you too! Enjoy Charleston. It's a great place.
Thanks, Carol! Today we went on a horse (mule) drawn carriage ride, Colby included! What a beautiful city this is.
Happy Thanksgiving. Charleston is a great place to visit--Glad you arrived there safely--enjoy. Had our first "cooler" day today, but it was still beautiful.
HAPPY BELATED THANKSGIVING TO YOU. CHARLESTON IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO VISIT -- GLAD YOU ARRIVED THERE SAFELY. WE'VE HAD OUR FIRST "COOL" DAY TODAY, BUT IT'S SUPPOSED TO WARM UP. SAFE TRAVELS.
CAROLYN AND CHARLIE
I am glad you all are having a great time in Charleston. It truly is a delightful city and it sounds like you are taking full advantage of it. I was there for 14 months in 1979 when my Navy ship was in overhaul there, and it is where I met my future wife (we're still married!).
It also means you are now south of the worst of the cold weather since Charleston does not truly get cold until January. It is 0715 on Sunday, 29 Nov right now. The NWS say that Manassas VA (close to where I am) is 28 but Charleston, SC is 46. Barring a disaster, you are sure to complete your transit this year (knock on hatch boards). Enjoy the ICW!
