On March 28th we left St. Augustine and motor/sailed north to Charleston, SC. It was a nice clear day and a very pleasant passage. We anchored in the Ashley River right across from Ashley Marina, Charleston, SC. It took us two or three tries to get the anchor set where we wanted it and then we just crashed.

The next morning, March 29, we called our Charleston sailing buddies Laurie and Rob Kramer (s/v Moon Shadow) who we'd enjoyed being with in Marathon, FL months ago. Well, as luck would have it, the Kramers were docked in Ashley Marina and were happy to come get us in their dinghy. Wow! What nice folks! We spent the rest of the day and evening getting caught up with them and visiting their beautiful Charleston house. Then we wandered around Charleston with them----fun, fun, fun.

This morning Laurie call and said that Rob would come get us for coffee and homemade pumpkin muffins aboard their boat. Thanks!
