Charleston Oct 19, 20th ICW 467

Call around and there are no slips, try again on another day and here we are at Charlestown Maritime Center. We are on a floating dock across from the water taxi, just over from the big cruise ships. If you go to town there will be tourists pouring out of the ships. We found a wonderful sandwich shop Brent's at 40 Broad street near many art dealers. Locals come for breakfast & lunch. Many lawyers in the area too.

We walked all around town, got steaks at Harris Teeters. I used to go there when I lived in North Carolina. Great place to get stuff. Saw beautiful architecture all around.

Today we went by water taxi across to the war ships and submarine for a three hours self guided tour. Tomorrow we take off again

. My dad was on an air craft carrier in the Navy. I remember stories about catching the planes on these fan tail catchers.

Live oaks.. incredible branches. Battery park.
