Going to Charleston

We left our cozy anchorage on Wednesday about 7:30 as the dolphins played around us. ( side note: Aaron says I look like an idiot whenever I see dolphins because I clap my hands together and say yeah dolphins over and over...alright I get pretty excited).  Any way, we end up in Charleston Harbor about 9:30 and to our dock at St Johns yacht Harbor around 11am. We're staying at a Marinia again because Aaron had decided to jump ship and head back to New York. He will take the train to NYC to see Sara and head to Utica to ready himself for the service(Air Force and Army are contenders ...make your vote in comment section) (side note again:  Aaron said "being on the boat was like prison, you have lots of time to think about the future.").  So we end up at this lovely Marinia and say see you next month to Aaron.  The only glitch we hit was the courtesy car that we reserved to take Aaron to the train in charleston was out when we asked for it.  With 30 minutes left to get to a place that takes 27 minutes, according to google maps, a very nice gentleman said use my car. He handed jon the keys without even knowing our name. Later we found out his name is Nelson. We sat on is trimaran  that he had extended from 28 feet to 36 feet. He was so talented..he built everything inside and out... And it was beautiful   Any way, he became the local hero as we found out in the bar later. All for being himself. Thanks Nelson.
