Charleston Continued

It was with heavy hearts that we saw Jim and Mimi off.  Like typical loopers, their plans had them

moving on today, while we weren't sure what we were doing, staying in Charleston for a bit or moving on North.  Bye-bye Jim and Mimi.  It has been a BLAST travelling with you!  We hope to either catch up soon on the loop or see you in Ontario, whichever way our plans work out.

Jeff and I took the water taxi over to Charleston again and did something I've always wanted to do but never have.  We signed up for a horse drawn carriage ride. When we heard the price of a private tour, both being frugal by nature, we opted for the group tour.  Along the way we learned that we weren't even actually on a "horse" drawn carriage tour, these babies were actually mules.  So, instead of a horse drawn carriage tour we ended up with a cheap-ass ride but, nevertheless, it was awesome!  There's just something relaxing about moving slowly through such a beautiful historic town while listening to the clop clop of hoofs.  Very enjoyable.  We also learned that all their mules come from my the mennonites around my home town, Waterloo Ontario.

It turns out we stayed in Charleston only one more day.  With a few decisions made, the next morning I reprovisioned while Jeff got the boat ready and we shoved off, heading North.  We put in a long day of travel, with the current pushing us an extra knot or two all day, and caught up with Jim and Mimi again, anchored in Georgetown.  Both being exhausted, we said our good nights to Perfect Balance over the radio, had a quick bite and an early night.  Tomorrow, we'll check out Georgetown, SC.  Below are some of the pictures from our day in Charleston:
