Tom and Doris' ICW Trip: Charleston and Beaufort, S.C.

Wed, Oct. 19 Arrived in Charleston Docked on the Mega Dock in Charleston. This dock is 1/4 mile long. Golf carts pick you up to take you to the van which drives you into town. Our Mainships were the baby boats on the dock. Even my favorite 55 Fleming looked dwarfed on this dock. The mega yachts from Annapolis were docked on this pier. The average yacht between 80-100 feet. I learned that the owners don't travel on their yachts. The Captains and crew move the yachts and the owners fly into port. Ate the best ribs at Nick and Jim's on King Street. Charleston is one of the most beautiful cities on the East coast. Fantastic old homes and a beautiful park along the waterfront. Ate dinner at SNOBS (Slightly North of Broad Street). One of the best meals I have ever eaten.
Oct. 23 Beaufort, SC. A small beautiful city. Historic homes line the streets. Giant old Live Oaks full of Spanish Moss are everywhere. Beautiful park along the waterfront.
