Day 13: Isle of Palms to Charleston, SC
On Wednesday, Oct 20 we left the Isle of Palms Marina and motored through the Ben Sawyer swing bridge and into Charleston Harbor.  We re-fueled at the Charleston City Marina and tied up for the night.  Steve departed that afternoon.  Mike and I planned to take Sarah outside in the morning and head directly for Fort Pierce.
Entering the harbor we could see Fort Sumter on our left.
We could also see the extensive facilities in the Port of Charleston on our right.
A very large suspension bridge is under construction in Charleston.
On the way across the harbor we encountered this large (>80') sailboat motoring out into the ocean.  The name on the vessel was "Rogue" and it appeared to flying the British flag.
	As we approached the main part of the city of Charleston, the historic Battery district came into view.
	I had made a reservation at the Charleston City Marina, a very large and modern facility on the Ashley River side of Charleston.  After topping off the fuel tank we moved Sarah to a berth for the night.  We plan to depart Charleston in the morning, heading outside to Fort Pierce.
