Picture of the Beaufort Rendevous of the America's Great Loop Cruisers Assn.


April 29 and we are anchored in Cow House Creek,MM383, about 25 miles south of Myrtle Beach. We traveled 47 miles today.Did our good deed for the day by towing a small boat with two guys back to a boat dock after they lost a prop.Last night we also anchored in a great spot - April 28th, Five Fathom creek anchored MM430 , traveled 38 miles today. the stars were just fantastic since the night was so clear and no lights were around the area. Bought some fresh shrimp and enjoyed steak and shrimp on the grill. This morning was very windy but it has calmed down now. On to Myrtle Beach tomorrow.While we were in Clemmons, Jeff gave Jim a XM Satellite radio which is now activated and he have lots of great channels with new, weather and music. Thanks Jeff.

Today we are in Charleston SC. at Ashley Marina Left Beaufort on Tuesday April 24 and cruised down here. Beaufort was a lovely small southern town. We picked up Sneakers from the vet - she really had missed us all - even Linus!!She's being a very lovey cat. See the picture above of the two of them on the flybridge as we headed to Charleston. Charleston is much bigger and the town is lovely with old historic homes. Had She Crab soup for lunch - probably enough fat and calories for the week, but it was good! Storms today so glad we are at Ashley Marina. The week of April 16th, we were in Michigan. It was a fast trip back and we enjoyed spending Easter with Jamie and Jeff and the grandchildren. Our friends, Tami and Dave and Chuck and Cheryl were very accommodating by letting us spend a few days with them. Along the way, we stayed with Amy and Ed and Chris and Sandy. We owe them many thanks for thier hospitality.. We also were able to visit with friends Beth and Cleo and some friends at MESSA. We caught up with our dental, doctor and hair stylist appointments and now are all groomed and cleaned and heading back to Beaufort,SC.

Rendezvous 9-Apr-06 21
Drove to Mich 14-Apr-06-23 April
The rendezvous in Beaufort was great. We met up with some friends we’ve made along the way as well as meeting more people doing the loop. The information at the seminars was invaluable since we learned so much about the waters we will be cruising over the next few month. We’ve looking forward to seeing North Carolina, the Chesapeake, New York and Canada. Beaufort in a really neat town, we were very comfortable leaving the boat there while we rented a car to drive to Michigan. We boarded Sneakers at the local vet and brought Linus with us. I updated the pictures on Shutterfly with new pictures of the tides and Beaufort. Check out the series of pictures of the ramp from the floating dock to the shore. These tides are up to 10’ here in Beaufort.
