Hilton Head to Beaufort SC

I got a lazy start but only got 20 miles to do. 

Departure is at 11ish and arrival at 15:30 at the free dock.  


 I was going to try to fit in between two boats, but it was tight, and then I remembered I had the dinghy behind me.

I had to back in as two powerboats departed on the other side of the dock.  I came in reverse, and a powerboat helped tie my mid-ship line.  I docked her.

Walked through town, but I’ve seen Beaufort before, and I ended up doing groceries at Food Lion and restocking the bar, including Bushmill, Canadian Supiiour Whisky, Remy Marin, and Sambuca.  Avoiding the USA products!


Walked back to the boat, doing 7km by foot, and my left leg was really bothering me.  


I got some help leaving the dock and decided to cross the Lady Island bridge, which was willing to open on my demand. This would save me from requesting an opening at rush hour tomorrow, and the anchorage on the North side was better.


Supper was the Catfish and lobster cake and shrimp I bought at Food Lion.
