Boating always has its stories to tell. Just as IE was preparing to set off for Beaufort SC the skipper went to turn on the engines and the starboard engine refused to start! Another call to Larry and by 9.15am we were ready to go. Larry thanks us for helping him out with his Christmas shopping! With expert help and the Skipper's skills IE left her slip without any difficulty. It was very windy and the current was strong. Today's journey took us along a beautiful more rugged section of the ICW. The Elliott Cut is very narrow but has beautiful homes all along its edge. Cruising down the Stono River was challenging and Nana and Nandad had to pay close attention. As IE was cruising down the South Ediston River she came across the sail boat again from Canada with its beautiful sails. We arrived into Beaufort where they are having a Festival of Lights taking place tonite so we will have the front row seats. Nana wishes she had her festive flags tonite so that IE would look the part. Tomorrow we may head for Hilton Head - who knows!
