Finally Charleston

Sorry for the delayed post. It was a good day; It was a busy day. We woke at 3 am Nick dropped us off as planned at TF Green. An easy connection at Charlotte and we arrived in CHS as scheduled around 1030. It was a shock leaving Connecticut in jeans and jackets and arriving in Charleston's 1000 degree weather. We quickly adapted by going directly to Roger's, changing into shorts and drinking his cold beer. I love this Southern hospitality- Thanks again Roger. We picked up our 6 boxes of UPS crushed supplies and finaly made it to the boat at about 1230. We spent the rest of the day cleaning (Linda cleaned) I just made more mess doing maintenance. We contacted a diver and had him scrape the bottom. They do that monthly down here. It had been a little over two months and the growth was thick, but it;s all clean now. The engine fired right up. The main halyard has been replaced. The GPS chartplotter is mounted but not yet connected. The boat's old name has been removed from the transom. Tomorrow we will go through the re-naming ceremony, with Champagne and sacrificed virgins and the works. I'll try to get some pictures up also. I turned on the SPOT, but don't expect much from it just yet since the boat won't leave the dock until Saturday morning. That's all for now- Stay tuned.
