The destination of the day was Beaufort (say: “Byou-fert”), South Carolina. We had invited Todd and Brenda over for hors d’oeuvres; however, we just missed the 4 pm opening of the bridge at Beaufort and ended up anchoring in Factory Creek below the bridge. During the week, the bridge has restricted openings for the morning and evening rush hours, so it would not be opening again until 6 pm. L2S was already tucked in above the bridge and even though we weren’t that far apart, we decided to do our own things that evening and plan to get together at tomorrow night’s anchorage.
We were anxious to see the town of Beaufort, so since we weren’t having guests, we took the dinghy into the town dock to see what we could see. We walked into the parking lot and found a couple of horse-drawn carriage tours waiting to take their last spin around town. We had a lovely tour of the city and our guide had a real knack of giving us the history of the area with a lot of her own personality thrown in.
After some photo opps with the horse guide, Doc, we enjoyed a good meal at Luther’s on the waterfront before heading back to Blue Heron for the evening.
