We tried to leave today to time the tide so that we made it to our marina around noon. We ended up getting there an hour early. We had to dock in tight quarters again with a tidal current, but we made it without incident. We wanted to get a slip at Ladies Island Marina but they were full so we went about 3 miles down river to Port Royal Landing Marina. It is really a nice place. After we docked we walked about a mile to Piggly Wiggly for some groceries, checked out a West Maine and a liquor store that were in the same plaza, and also picked up some fresh shrimp at a seafood market along the way. All that in less than a mile…pretty cool, especially the fresh seafood.

Tricia cooked some awesome shrimp scampi with potatoes and a spinach salad, and we ate like kings. Gotta tell you that I love the fresh seafood! It was 78 degrees today and we were in shorts and T-shirts…man do I love that too. We are going to leave the boat here in a few days and make a trip home. We miss everyone so much…all of our friends and family. Can’t wait to see everyone again. Then we will move south again into Florida.
