Day 6

So we have decided to stay another night in Charleston...lovely town, Fort Sumpter, nice folks. I am actually concerned about this heat on a boat along the coat with no a/c or more importantly, apparent wind...which would be zero. I put 24 cans of Bud along with 20 lbs of ice in an insulated locker in the cockpit. Just went up for what I thought would be an icy cold one...zero ice and coolish beer. Glad we have refrigeration and freezer. Time to call the dock bitches to bring more ice. The tips are adding up$$. There is a sailboat tied up behind us from Halifax, Nova Scotia bound from the Bahamas to home and crewed by a couple 10 years older than me. Carol met a woman at the laundry room that is the housekeeper on one of the mega yachts here. There are a few. This is called the “mega dock”. It 1500 feet long. Fuel, good water and trash everywhere. Golf carts if you want a lift. Anyway, we are being cautious with this heat. And keeping the beer COLD.
