Riding the Tides to Beaufort, SC

We crossed the boarder today into South Carolina. To night we are at the Beaufort City Marina. We had a good day of travel, sunshine and warm temperatures. We even goofed off taking our picture in the cockpit.

It is amazing how the tides slingshot you from creek or river to creek or river depending on the tide. We would ride fast to the inlet on the low tide and slow in the high tide. Then we would turn around and go fast on the rising tide or slow on the low tide. The changes here are incredible. Some of the areas we have been in the last few days have a tidal range of 9 feet. Most marinas have floating docks and we feel like mountain goats going to shore on a low tide.

We walked to town and had a pizza at an Italian restaurant. It will be another early night tonight, we started out early this morning.
