Today's cruise took us along the ICW to the city of Charleston, a most interesting and historic city. John was not onboard since he had to drive his car to Charleston. This gave him the opportunity to do some sightseeing. One of the places visited was the Hunting Island State Park with its dunes, light house and reminders of early
settlements. Just south of Charleston, John stopped to see a 1200 year old tree - there seem to be many of these giants in South Carolina. By the time we arrived in Charleston, John was waiting at the Battery to see us come in. It was from the Battery that the first shots of the Civil War were fired - all directed at Fort Sumter. Our marina for 
our three night stay was the Charleston Maritine Center, located within easy walking distance from the historic town center. This evening we had dinner at Hyman's Seafood, one of the best seafood restaurants in the Southeast. Six years ago, while on our first Great Loop trip, we had dinner here with Stu and Nel Vander Hyde.
