The thing we enjoy the most about cruising is being away from land life – sailing to new places and settling in for the night in isolated anchorages. That said, marina life does have its advantages.
With Madrone safely tied up at Cooper River Marina in advance of a few land trips, it is a perfect time to enjoy the benefits of marina life. The easy access to the city makes it fun to be land tourists for a change, enjoying some of the sites that are ordinarily difficult for us to access. And since Charleston seems to be a small crossroads for sailors, we get a chance to make new friends with some of the folks passing through.
We’ll be happy to get back to cruising again, but Charleston has proven to be a great stop.
