GL: Miss Happ Docked in Charleston, SC

[Wade Ehlen]

Ahoy All:

   Thursday we cruised to about 10 miles north of
Charleston SC and anchored for the night next to Dewee
Island, an "exclusive" residential area with no cars. 
Private boat or ferry is the only access.  Two garbage
trucks were being brought ashore Friday morning for
the weekly pick-up.  The tide changed around 4am so
the Captain was up to make sure the anchor didn't drag
and send us into the nearby ocean inlet.  All went
well.
   Friday morning we docked at the Cooper River
Marina, which is county-owned.  Very friendly staff
(Hugh is from Long Island) who are more than willing
to drive you downtown, etc. Take a cab back.  The
marina is clean, fairly well protected from wakes,
showers, laundry, lounge with tv and dial-up internet.
 
   Oil change and some other maintenance stuff were
taken care of.
   The Miss Happ is listed for sale, and Tuesday we're
going to bring her to a potential buyer at his dock in
Edisto SC, south of Charleston.  He seems anxious.  Of
course, as soon as we heard of a buyer, the aft
electric head developed a problem, the mount for the
hand-held shower broke, the impeller for the oil
changer stopped working...   The captain was able to
repair all problems.
   Temps in the 70s today and forcast into the next 5
or so days.
   We plan to leave Sunday or perhaps Monday for
Edisto.
