Charleston, SC

Whilst anchored in the beautiful town of Charleston, Ken from the boat anchored beside us pulled alongside for a chat.  Our outboard motor has died – no spark – and Don has done everything he can think of to fix it but it looks as though we need new parts that will have to be ordered once we have a delivery address.  The current here is so strong that it would be very difficult to row ashore so we are boat bound.  Ken kindly offered to take us ashore anytime we wanted – he is heading the same direction as us and gave excellent advice on stops along the way – his boat has a deeper draft than ours so we were grateful for his suggestions – he went on to say that once he arrives in the Chesapeake and finds a suitable marina he and his wife shall leave for a trip to England – his wife's mother has been sailing with them but she is finding it a little difficult these days and they are taking her home – she is 95 years old !!!!  Wow
