Harbour Town Yacht Basin at Sea Pines Resort on Hilton Head is the Ritz Carlton of marinas. Wow! The boats around us are gorgeous and there are townhouses and condos encircling the harbor. Several clothing stores and the usual tee-shirt emporiums are nearby, but the grocery store is a half-mile away. Fortunately, Will and Roger borrowed the courtesy car in Beaufort and made a grocery run so we are well supplied. And, as Will noted when he explored the various storage areas on the boat, most of them were filled with cases of wine. This place has a very yacht-y feel — a perfect setting — if only the weather had cooperated. Despite grey, cloudy skies and some rain, the temperature is mild. A good day for catching up on some chores like laundry (I am pretty certain we were the only crew in the harbor that does its own laundry!) and stowing away a variety of things that did not find themselves back in the right spots during our first days of cruising. Also a good day for playing cards and Mexican Train with Will trouncing the rest of us as usual. Roger and I spent some time reading the electronic version of the NYTimes and lamented about the state of the world while enjoying our privileged perch. There is something about cruising that makes the realities of the world outside our tiny orbit seem far away and not as pressing or distressing. Not sure if that is good or bad. For now, we are focused on our here and now and that is very, very good indeed.
