for the Winter
Port
Royal Landing MarinaPort Royal, SC
Last night after we posted the blog, the wind
picked up again and we were under a tornado watch! We had a rough evening for a
while with very strong gusting winds, but the anchor held and we made it
through the night.
We left the anchorage about 9:20 this morning
and were faced with more strong winds gusting to 35 mph. We had an
uncomfortable ride for the first four hours through St. Helena Sound and the
Coosa River and were happy to enter calmer waters as we passed Lady’s Island
and the harbor of Beaufort.
We docked at Port Royal Landing Marina at
2:00 and are happy to be here! We were
invited to dinner with Jeffrey and Cathy on Shenandoah who are docked next to
us. (They were also anchored near us last night.) We went to a new Mexican
restaurant nearby and had a fun evening.
We are looking forward to having Thanksgiving
dinner here at the marina tomorrow afternoon. The staff is cooking several turkeys
and everyone will bring side dishes to share.
We will stay here three nights and do some cleaning
and borrow the courtesy car to do some provisioning on Friday!
We wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving!
