Scenes of Beaufort
.
“Reflection” was on her way to the Port Royal Landing Marina near Beaufort at 8 a.m. George and Linda got a chance to get their sea-legs on this 44 mile journey through the “Low Country”. George is an amateur photographer, so both of his cameras were always at the “ready”. The course wound through many twists and turns as we made our way through miles and miles of marshland past Hilton Head Island and eventually Parris Island. Finally, we arrived at the marina around 1 p.m., but after we were tied up we experienced a lot of the bouncing that opposing wind and tide can create. At any rate, we got off the boat, borrowed the marina’s courtesy car, and drove into Beaufort. We found the Visitors’ Center, and then drove down to the riverfront to board a carriage-ride tour around this lovely town which boasts that it is the second oldest city in South Carolina. The architecture of many of the homes dates back to the 1700s, as it was largely saved from the destruction of the Civil War. They are also very proud of the many movies that were filmed here including “Forrest Gump”. After our tour we headed to the small outdoor restaurant at the marina for an early dinner, and enjoyed the rest of the evening relaxing aboard.
