On Saturday, July 27 after repairing the water leak, and making a last minute run to Home Depot, we left Isle of Hope. Our nephew, Matthew, joined us for this trip. Matthew is 11 years old. He and Piper were born the same year 2001. Matthew is two months older than Piper--he made sure I knew who was older. Piper is covered in gray hair and moves much more slowly than Matthew, but hey--if he wants us to know he is older, that's fine with me.
We arrived at our anchorage outside of Daufuskie in the late afternoon. Steve got some help from Matthew setting the anchor and securing the snubber line. (I am not sure about how to use this word snubber but I do know that its job is to help divert some of the pressure on the anchor chain)
After anchoring, we took the dinghy into the municipal dock and wandered around. We were looking for a golf cart to rent. We arrived to a party boat that had been rented by a group having a family reunion. They had all landed there and eaten at Marshside Mama's.

Marshide Mama's was very helpful, but did not have golf cart rental. They referred us to Freeport Marina for a rental. We arrived at Freeport about 4:30. They wanted to charge us $60 for renting the golf cart for less than two hours because they were closing. We tried to bargain with them to cut the price, but they were not going to budge. We walked around the marina for a little while then headed back to the boat for dinner.
Sounds like you enjoyed yourself. How did Matthew take to boating...he said he loved it and thought it might be a good idea to visit Lainey some time at her new college.
ReplyDeleteMatthew was a great boat hand. He was eager to learn and was very helpful. A visit to Lainey at her new college sounds great. Maybe Thanksgiving in Florida?
