Isle of Hope

 


A view of Lady’s Island Marina (courtesy of Kathy) reflecting sunrise (no, it’s not on fire!

A few final notes before moving on from Beaufort...
 
  
I made special breakfast on Monday, eggs Benedict!  Tasted wonderful but what a mess left for Kathy!
 
We got to share a really fun evening with Kimberly and Jeff, from Lady’s Island Marina. They joined us for cocktails, laughter, dinner and more laughter!  We will definitely try to rendezvous on the trip back north. 

Our last morning we were met with a beautiful sunrise


And onward to Isle of Hope...

We actually have no pictures!  But, I think we hit a new high for number of dolphin sightings in a day!

We arrived late afternoon and had to parallel park at the fuel dock...with a demon current and a little wind.  Big, fat catamaran sailboat in front, expensive Grand Banks behind.  Yikes!  Fortunately, we managed it with no yelling or tears.  After fueling up we moved over to our slip for the night - a far less challenging task.

The marina has a courtesy car but I was behind on my reading for book club, so I just read and heated up leftover chili and cornbread for dinner.  Finished up my assignment (James, by Percival Everett) and we packed it in relatively early.  Wouldn't you know, I'd forgotten to take my burgee off the flag staff when leaving that morning and when the wind came up (10:30) I went outside to retrieve it - for a little flag it makes a lot of noise).  No sooner had I gotten back in bed but it started raining - at least I didn't have to get wet!

Isle of Hope Marina manager is Chris - nice guy, very pleasant.  It is a TPG marina, so managed by the same company as my last summer home, Spicer's marina.  It needs a LOT of TLC.  2 bathroom/showers (not terribly clean or inviting looking).  If someone is showering, you're SOL.
