St John’s Yacht Harbor

We have arrived! A very long day but NH is finally at her home destination for at least the next four weeks. We had decided to anchor about 25 miles from our destination however when we went to slow down the throttle decided to once again slip so , despite our exhaustion, it was decided we should get to our home base. The miles and miles of Georgias ICW is a constant maze of twists and turns, shoaling, shallow areas and due to the many slow zone areas your speed is significantly reduced so it can take a few hours to go the extra 25 miles. In our favor , due to the clock going forward ,we have longer evenings with sunset now at around 7.30pm. NH was greeted at the dock by Adam and Daniel and securely tied and plugged in just in time for a well deserved cocktail/ mocktail. Nana is sooo excited to finally be at our destination and is ready for some family hugs. Nandad peeping over the rails at sunset.

Thursday 15th March: Nana and Nandad decided that today was a day to relax and enjoy. The marina provides a courtesy car which we can have for the day so we took off to Folly Beach - which has a beautiful stretch of beach probably at least six miles long with a variety of houses that have direct access to the beach. From there we went to Kiawah Island to have lunch at The Players Pub. Now Kiawah Island is a private Island with a very exclusive golf resort but if you say you are having lunch at the PUB they give you a day pass at the gate. We had the most delicious lunch on their patio and then sat on the Aridondack chairs on the lawn. It was very relaxing. Afterwards we once again went for a walk along another beach that was likely 10 miles long. 

As you can tell Nana is looking very relaxed and is thinking maybe golfing is a safer hobby than boating! We do some light grocery shopping before heading back for dinner onboard.
