All along our trip, we've been talking to Fred, our Nyack neighbor who lives on his Nordic Tug, Northstar, in the Hudson during the spring and fall months when he's not cruising.
Fred has done the trip to the Bahamas a number of times and has been one of Lou's gurus for this trip. So, it was with great pleasure, that we finally caught up with each other in South Carolina.

Beaufort, pronounced Byoofort, as opposed to Beaufort, North Carolina (pronounced the way it is spelled) was the quintessential southern town. Fred took us on a walk of the point to see pecan trees (we picked the nuts up off the ground and opened them to get at the delicious meat inside), live oaks covered in Spanish moss (these trees are unlike northern oak trees, but massive in size and breadth), and plantation type homes.
In the evening, we had dinner with Fred and his friend Mark, and experienced this sunset. 
Next stop: Savannah!
