SH Port Royal MM 542

Todays cruise was all about the docks dotted all along the route. Some are very very long, some have railing ( which is really nice ), some are in great shape while others have been taken over by the birds. Either way maintaining theses structures must be horrendously expensive. 

We passed the cruise ship the American Eagle at a particularly industrial part of the channel Yonges Island along Oyster Creek. Again the water level is really low with lots of muddy exposed banks. As you can see from below the green marker is literally stuck in the mud!

Nandad did most of the helm today so he needed to stretch before arriving into SH Port Royal which is adjacent to Beaufort.

While cruising the Ashepoo Cut Nana tried to capture the mystic of the dangling moss.

After a very friendly welcome by the staff at SH Port Royal we took a stroll around the very quaint neighborhood, relaxed on the boat and had an excellent dinner at the Marker 244 - their local restaurant. If you wanted to spend time in this area there is plenty to do between these two historic towns of Port Royal and Beaufort. In addition to the antebellum homes, there are several pre civil-war churches, the Beaufort Museum, horse and buggy rides, observation tower and lots more. You can even visit iconic movie locations. However Nana and Nandad will continue their journey and aim to reach Georgia tomorrow.
