Then about 11 a.m. an official-looking boat came up to us and handed us a white flyer and told us that we either had to leave the boat and dingy to shore or move the boat to a different location and stay on it, by 1 p.m. Our boat was in the direct path of the airshow pilots for that afternoon and they didn't want any humans below them in case they went down, sort of thing.
Out past us behind an imaginary line, boats and boats were anchoring up, but only a few of them were sailboats, so we opted to load our beach chairs, some refreshments and binoculars and go into the town park to find a shady spot to watch the show.
Before the show, we walked through a shrimp boat on display. You can see the boats are made basically for keeping the people alive while catching and bringing back the shrimp.
Later in the day, we walked around town and saw that many people had come to sit under lovely large live-oaks that lined the street along the residential area beside the water. We paused under a couple of them to look back out at the water.
Today, the plan is to get groceries and get back on the boat and maybe start a ways north to anchor out tonight. We hope to sail "out" (in the Atlantic) the 20 miles north to Charleston, a good little test run for us tomorrow or the next day - whenever we get to the Edisto River inlet where we can safely go out.
