Wednesday May 13
Today was a good day to stay put. The picture is of the ocean and the gray sky. We enjoyed our day visiting with Phil. Dianne was at her daughter's house but we got to visit some when she came home.

They were kind to us and let us use their washer and dryer. I desperately needed to do laundry. It was coming out of the wet locker at me. Phil, Larry and I took a break in between loads and went to lunch and for a drive to see the area. They live in a gated community on a golf course. The Isle of Palms is an island just North of Charleston and on the East side of the ICW. It's very peaceful here at the dock and protected.

We made the decision last night to stay another day. We still had some work to do on the boat even with all the cleaning and laundry we did yesterday. The weather was still threatening thunderstorms this morning and though the afternoon. We felt it was a good choice on our part.

When I got up this morning I baked a banana bread and Phil and Dianne came over for coffee. We had a good visit, but a short one, they had things to do as they are getting ready to cruise on their boat next week. They may even catch up with us before we get to the Chesapeake. If not we will see them in Deltaville.

Phil needed to go to Wal*Mart and we tagged along. I got to ride with the cute little gal you see in the picture. Her name is Sailor and she will be going with Phil and Dainne on their cruise.

Tomorrow morning we plan to get a early start before the wind begins to blow. We should make it to Georgetown, SC, where we will anchor for the night.
