We spent three days in Charleston, staying again at Charleston Maritime Center. The weather was warming up, and it was generally "tourist weather", making touring the city quite enjoyable. However, one of the best sights of the city was right in the marina.
When we looked for a replacement for our old Seafarer 26, we were quite taken by Tsunami, a Tashiba 36 owned by dock neighbors Gunther and Barbara Nehrkorn.
OWTW is, in fact, a year older than Tsunami, but is otherwise a close sister to the Tashiba. We were quite sad to hear that Tsunami was for sale and sadder to hear she was sold. Her new owners, Dale and Karen, from Canada, planned to take her cruising in the Caribbean. So it was a surprise to arrive in CMC and find a familiar boat with a new name only a couple of slips away from OWTW. We took a horse-drawn carriage ride through historic Charleston. The horse drawing the carriage was a "retired" horse from an Amish farm. Amos isn't quite like our buddy Amos the cat, who died a couple of years ago, but we liked the name of the horse anyway. And he's almost as nice as Amos the cat.
