Charleston, SC

Wayne was up to take Sailor over for his morning walkie before the sun was up. While we pulled anchor and took off at 6:45am, I took this crazy sunrise picture her in Steamboat Creek.

This was the reddest sunrise ever. Between Georgia and the Carolina's I think are the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets ever.
Just a great day for motor sailing and very calm. Saw a lot of dolphin's. Their just to busy eating in the mornings to play with us. When we were a few miles from Charleston, our oil pressure alarm went off. So, Wayne turned the engine off and went down to look. The current was going real fast so I just steered the boat down the river. He put more oil in, thought that was the problem. But, when he started the engine the alarm came on again. We made it to the fuel dock. He checked it out and found the wires from the oil pressure switch came off. He by passed it. Thank goodness it wasn't anything serious. We have to order the new part when we know when we will be at a certain marina.

Around 2pm we took the marinas taxi to Market ST.  We walked around and I took lots of pictures.


Philadelphia Alley (read the plague)
We saw the alley and thought it was pretty and just walked down it and found all this info about it. Pretty Cool.
We walked back to Bubba Gumps for dinner. Sailor is welcome here. Afterwards we called the marina and they come pick you up. We are staying another day, because the weather is going to be high winds 20 to 25 knots, gust to 35knots and rain.
