Beaufort to Savanah

After much deliberation we decide to do this legion in the sea. Opportunities to do this don't offer themselves as much as you might think. There are lots of inlets from the sea to ICW but not that many that can take a sailboat with 5 foot draft . Motor boats zoom in and out but we can't.
 Not a great deal of wind but my god it's good to be out in the sea , what sweet relief. Dolphins everywhere and big orange turtles too. I am certain I saw a spout of water than in my opinion could have only come from a whale. 
 Back inland up the Savanha river and the knotty problem of which marina to chose comes up, indecsion abounds but finally we find ourselves , more through luck than judgement, at the municipal dock. An exerlent place as it is right in the centre of town and cost us nothing. Officially we should have gone and found a nearby car park attendant to give our money too. Well we arrived late and did a runner in the morning, helped ourselves to some of the electric power overnight, I told Vince not to as it would be dishonest!
 Savanah is a fine town, built its fortune on exporting cotten all over the world, the center is attractive with beautifully squares , the water front gentrified docklands.
