Charleston,SC, The Harbor,The Progress (and everything else)

In the sun but on the way to the airport. 70 degrees in the sun and Maumee,Ohio is in the 40's. Tell me again why I have to go back up to Ohio?

Cleaning the sea strainer.

The "salon" (translation: living room). Putting up the table was a huge mistake. It made a great foot rest if lowered, breakfast table, future card playing table but was a pain to get around. At one point I think I heard Rick mumble something about "throwing it overboard". The couch converts into a bed for ?4. The master bed sleeps two and the aft stateroom two. Sleeping in cold weather is no problem as the heating system works fast and was too warm at times. It was more comfortable sleeping than my bed.

I'm not piloting this monster!!
This was a rare picture of Rick not working on his boat. I think it was the first time he sat at the back with his coffee. He had a look of "now what do I do with this thing". Actually it was "take another picture and you walk the plank!".

Jackson posing with the new Ravenel Bridge in the background. We were at the aquarium where he gave us the the "best of" tour. He really knows his way around! He just turned 3 and could name lots of the fish. His favorite seemed to be the shark. As we played out on the patio there were dophins playing out in the harbor. The shipyards were next door and Jackson got to watch the train box cars be loaded onto the ships. Charleston is such a beautiful place!

Welcome to my Charleston pictures. This site will contain pics of "Papa's waterhouse" It was named by Rick's daughter to coax son Jackson onboard. He didn't like the sound of "boat". The new name will be "Progress" as in "Progress not perfection".
