We did indeed move to the Herb River this morning, anchoring just before noon. After lunch we dinghied to Bahia Bleu Marina where we tied up the dinghy and walked to the bus stop, catching the bus into downtown Savannah.

After breakfast, I packed a picnic lunch and we were off to Savannah again, retracing yesterday's steps via the marina and the bus for more sightseeing.
A taste of historic Savannah . . .
City Hall.
The Cotton Exchange.

Many mansions now converted to businesses.

We were up early and left the anchorage at 0700, on our way to Beaufort, S.C. The day was warm and sunny. We had an uneventful trip, very little wind until we got to Port Royal Sound where we were able to motor sail. The current was also with us at this point giving us SOG of 7 to 7.3 kts. I just love it when the current is in our favour lol! We arrived at the Downtown Marina in Beaufort at 1500. We got fuel and water before heading to the anchorage just outside the marina's mooring field when the skies opened up. It rained and rained and rained the rest of the evening and all night.

It was still cloudy this morning and cool. I actually had to dig out the tootsie warmers (aka slippers)! We had another "head issue" which Jorge started to work on in the morning. As he needed to make a trip to the hardware store, we had lunch and then went into town. Actually, he went to town. I went to the marina and did laundry. We were back to the boat by mid afternoon. Head issue fixed and laundry put away.
Maybe moving towards Charleston tomorrow, depending on the weather.
