Charleston, SC

We left Chesapeake on 11/10 at 7:00 am and sailed (actually we motored the whole way) to Charleston. We were making great time but the last day the sea's got really choppy so we decided to get to Charleston asap. So we entered Charleston Harbor at 9:30 pm on 11/12 and arrived at Charleston City Marina Mega dock at 2:30 AM. We have to get our water maker and motor for the main sail repaired so we're planning to be here probably thru Thanksgiving. But Charleston isn't a bad place to be, great restaurants and a lovely town. We have eaten the last 2 nights at our favorite place Pearlz Oyster Bar, awesome seafood.
While in Charelston we went to the Hunley Restoration Project. The Hunley was a submarine of the Confederate States of America that played a small part in the American Civil War, but a large role in the history of naval warfare. It was the first combat submarine to sink an enemy warship, although the Hunley was not completely submerged and was lost at some point following her successful attack. It was absolutely an amazing bit of history, advancement in restoration and re-enactment to discover the unknown about the submarines demise. They even have recreated the physical features of the 8 crewmen that went down with it. It is still going on with an amazing amount of scientific individuals involved. Highly recommend this to anyone who has a chance to see it.
