We left Charleston at 9:30 am and arrived in Beaufort, South Carolina at 4:30 pm. Today was a seven hour ride, but it gave us time to work on some maintenance issues on the boat.
Beaufort is pronounced like Buefort. It is an historical place. Small with lots of shops and almost a step back in time. Everyone we passed on the streets speaks to you. We docked at the city marina in downtown Beaufort. We were delighted with the row of super large porch swings lined up around the harbour walk. We sat and swang after a delicious dinner at "Luthers." We ate crab cakes and the very best pork chops I have ever put in my mouth. They come to the table black, charred with a molasses sauce that is sweet and tangy. Yum Yum. Years ago, Luther's restaurant used to be Luther's Drug Store and Mercantile. They have pictures hanging from 1908 to its current restaurant days. It's a very interesting collection of history. The original plank floors are still being walked on.
Tomorrow we will set our sights toward Savannah. Paula Dean, here we come baby.
