It’s the day after Thanksgiving. Cloudy and cool. Jeff follows the stock market closely, so we’re watching Squawk Box and enjoying the fact that the Dow broke a new high.
Yesterday, we had to move my boat from Palmetto Bluff because they had other commitments for the transient dock. Kathy and I sailed it over to Hilton Head – Windmill Harbor Marina. It is one of only two marinas in the US that you must enter through a lock. Jeff drove over to pick us up, and he took this video of my boat (which has a 12′ beam) passing through their 16′-wide lock. Thank heavens for bow and stern thrusters – they kept the boat centered in the lock.
The trip took just 1/2 hour by car and by boat.
Tonight I’ll have dinner there – at the SC Yacht Club. Very exclusive. And then we’ll leave for Kilkenny Georgia.
I expect Kilkenny to be quite a study in contrasts: Kilkenny is reportedly rather like a fish camp, with picnic tables at which they serve fried catfish. Yummy.
My stay at Palmetto Bluff has been a lovely interlude. It’s really beautiful here, and everything is done first class.
