Georgetown, SC SM 405 to Charleston, SC SM 469

The captain and wife left at 7:15 on this Thursday morning for their 65 mile day trip.  With bright sunny skies and only 5 knots of wind, it was a pleasant day.  Again, they had to deal with the temperature, the thermometer being just at 8 degrees C, it was still chilly being on the water. It warm up to 15 degrees C by late afternoon and both crew members appreciated the weather getting warmer. They motored all the way and at 15:30, Oasis was docked at the Charleston City Marina.  After they relaxed a bit, Jean Guy and Roselind  took a shuttle bus downtown to do some sightseeing and ended the evening by having dinner at Hank's Seafood Restaurant to have a southern culinary taste.

Mother Nature welcomed us with a beautiful sunrise.
