Explored more of Beaufort this morning after a glorious breakfast at Blackstone’s. Beaufort’s architecture is more West Indies than plantation. Spring is definitely springing here — azaleas just starting to blossom, mollie azaleas full of fragrance, camellias in white and pink plus the flowering trees, many of which are laden with Spanish moss. Trip to Hilton Head was an adventure, crossing wide expanses of water on the look-out for the marks that would lead us in our southerly direction. Weather warmed up quite a bit — hooray — enough that shorts were not totally crazy, though having a jacket nearby made sense. Hilton Head’s Sea Pines Resort is quite posh! We arrived to sunshine and enough wind to make mooring a challenge, but Cliff did a fabulous job with nary a pause from turning into the slip to having lines and power cord secured.
