Georgetown - not D.C. - not Bahamas - yes in South Carolina


During our first trip we anchored in Georgetown, SC.  We didn't go into town.  This trip we tied up to one of the free town docks and walked the small town of Georgetown.  We were not allowed to keep our boat there overnight, so we had to anchor out.

The fine for being there overnight was $1,092.50.  A very odd number for a fine.  We couldn't figured how they came up with this!






The town was ready for Fall.

Another entrance to another Public Dock.

 
We seem to find festivals almost everywhere we go!  They had tents set up for food and live music.  There were food vendors and bands up and down the street.
We had lunch at a Southern chain - Groucho's Deli.

Town street

This restaurant had these neat statuary outside their front door!








We missed the vendor display, but Georgetown has a St. Mary Church - a little bit of home in SC!    
It was a cute little town.   I am glad we got a chance to see it.

Fair Winds to All!

Marathon, Florida

We made it to our first major destination - Marathon! We have now been here since Jan. 29th, give or take.  I am on vacation and lose track of time very easily!   We started out anchoring in Boot Key Harbor.  We put our name in for a mooring ball.  We were #24 on the waiting list.  People around here told  us it would take about 2 weeks to get one.  At that time we figured we would be leaving before then!   For those unfamiliar with a mooring ball, it is a ball with a rope and a ring on one end and the other end is attached securely to the bottom of the water.  You don't need the anchor to hold the boat you grab the ring with a boat hook and thread some line through the ring and tie the ends onto a cleat on the boat.  It holds the boat well and you don't need to worry so much about your anchor shifting or coming loose.  The anchoring in this harbor was so crowded that it made us concerned about how close we were from the boat i...

Man of War

We arrived in Man of War on March 17, right on St. Patrick's Day.  We were told later that we missed a cute parade back in Marsh Harbor, where the local businesses were giving away free food and drinks!  That would have made Marsh Island a little more fun for us! What a quaint island this is!  Absolutely loved being here.  The people were so friendly.  We did a lot of walking. Entering Man of War We were able to join up for a short visit with Phobe and Ron whom we met in Warderick Wells in the Exumas on our first Bahamas trip! Gift shop at the marina Some of the cute houses: Many had widow walks on the roof. This was a brain coral on someone's fence. This was a very cute coffeehouse plus it was a museum.  The Albury's were a well known family on the island.  The museum had a lot of their history contained in the museum which was their original home. This was the coffeehouse and the following ph...

Last, but not Least of the Everglades City, Part 3

Image
This is the last segment for the Everglades.  This is the most important one to me because it is here that we met a super group of people that were a lot of fun and a very caring group!  Some were other boaters, sail and trawler, and some were there in their motor coaches in the RV section of the park.  Some of them had their pets with them.  Sorry - I forgot the names of some the animals! These two belong to Jerry and Larisa. This is Lorrie's dog, Penny: These are Carol's pets:                                        Lily We went to the Camillia restaurant with the group. Lorrie on the left.  Trish on the right Jerry                                   ...
