Our new escorts.....................from K

We're anchored by the Toogoodoo Creek and planning to go up the Ashepoo River tomorrow - Faulkner couldn't come up with better southern names than these. Well, we finally left the chahhming city of Chahhleston. We toured the College of Charleston (very inviting!) and visited the Fort Sumter Memorial Museum. I had never realized the irony of the Civil War beginning with a Confederate shot at Fort Sumter.
We've had wonderful escorts down the ICW today - dozens of dolphins! One in particular has taken special delight in surfacing and blowing right on our stern, scaring us every time. He is BIG and light grey, and has quite a personality. Even unflappable P jumped a few times. I'd like to throw out a line and keep him as a pet. Tonight we plan to sleep in the saloon with our propane Mr. Heater - our best friend on the hook.
