Happy Thanksgiving


Normally this time of year, we would be riding the hi-speed quad at Mt. Hood; however this "low country quad chair" on the Charleston waterfront was a nice alternative!

Happy Thanksgiving from Beaufort, SC. We arrived here about Noon, having left Charleston on Wednesday morning. Spent the night at Rock Creek, then got an early start to finish up our trip while the turkey cooked. Click here for a photo album from our last few days in Charleston, including our visit to Ft. Sumtner. What a great city!


Our Turkey Day has been great so far. While dolphins were swimming along side our boat this morning, Jo was below making turkey, cabernet cranberries, pumpkin pie and other accompaniments - all carefully timed to get the most out of our very small but effective oven.

To make room pie after a big meal - and enjoy a gorgeous day - we took a walk around Beaufort and Lady's Island. Can't wait to explore more!

Hope your Thanksgiving is a great one!
