After NAVAL SUB BASE KINGS BAY we arrived in Beufort downtown and as coming in saw some great F18 takeoffs. Just before coming in we passed Marine Corps Paris Island but jets might have been coming from Marine Corp Air Station Beaufort. After docking and having drinks we saw and heard some rolling thunder afterburner vertical climbing think F18's that sounded like rocket launches so very good.
Beaufort historic downtown nice houses and outdoor walk with restaurant patios. The cruise ship American Star, like Viking River but not as nice, was docked by us and departed midnight.
On May 10 Friday we went 75 miles to Charleston through meandering marshes as far as eye could see. Tides of 8 feet and houses have 200 foot long plus docks. Our cruise ship American Star was there. Very historic downtown vey large area with College of Charleston and large area of high end stores and lots of reastarants. Had drinks at probably one of best restarants Bob Forsythe had mentioned to us very good and no reservatios available at HUSK restaurant. We were in huge marina with very large yaycts around us. Passed Fort Sumter on way out. Several yachts came in from Bahamas. New Publix with shopping carts won't go into parking lot with magnets. Good shuttle service from marina.
