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.
