After an early morning check on the day’s predicted weather, we all decided to just stay put. There were small craft warnings, the cancellation of today’s Charleston Race Week regatta and general fowl weather predictions.
So----it was a day of long neglected cleaning on the Quest, inside and out. While we experienced only odd sprinkles it was threatening all around our little pocket of relative serenity.
Exhausted, we headed for the marina’s restaurant for hamburgers. The soft-shell crab and lamb was delicious!! After dinner we wandered around our surrounding area and found our way to the angry, churning ocean. Boy, glad we were not out there today!
Back on Quest we watched “MY Big Fat Greek Wedding” then found a fire truck and paramedics were attending to a fallen victim in the parking lot. Although it didn’t look to be too serious, it did offer up a little diversion in our day.
During the 60s, underwater archaeologist E. Lee Spencer and local residence discovered many shipwrecks in this area. Among the discoveries were several Civil War blockade runners.
