The Beaufort, South Carolina city marina allowed us to be right in the center of another lovely Southern town. They boast many movie locations such as the Big Chill (White House below) and the Great Santini. Also, a national cemetery and Parris Island, home of a USMC base where we watched new recruit graduation dress rehearsal. Patriotism lives strong in the south.

We were also treated to an amazing "roll cloud" one afternoon that never produced rain.  Other loopers are back on the water heading north as well now and we are looking forward to connecting and sharing stories.

Two weeks at home was great to re-energize with family and friends. Happy 83 Dad!

That patch of snow on the Macatawa Inlet says it's time to head back south and on to Charleston!
