BEAUFORT, SOUTH CAROLINA

We sailed offshore, overnight from Charleston to Beaufort. We could only wish every overnight sails were like this one. Light winds but strong enough to sail with small waves on a close reach. To keep awake, I stretch & dance to XM Sirius radio. I discovered new moves when the boat heals over.

There is a Beaufort in North and South Carolina.  Both are pronounced quite differently.

Beaufort has a wonderful waterfront full of small cafes & restaurants with people playing their guitars and banjos. This is where Rick showed me how to play cribbage.


WHAT A NICE WAY TO SPEND AN AFTERNOON

Beaufort is the 2nd oldest city in South Carolina after Charleston. Numerous films were made here including 'Forest Gump', 'The Big Chill', 'GI Jane', 'Platoon' and more because of the beautiful landscapes and historical background. We found the house where 'The Big Chill' was filmed and a park where 'Forest Gump' was filmed.


BEAUFORT IS FULL OF LARGE TREES WITH SPANICH MOSS HANGING FROM IT
