May 14 — Happy Anniversary to Us!!

A drippy day for our 35th wedding anniversary. Can you believe it (the years, not the drips)?? It was a bit rainy on our wedding day. The ladies at the hair salon that day told me it was lucky to marry on a rainy day. I think they were right!!

Champagne breakfast, of course!

 

When we reviewed the charts for today’s journey this morning, the route looked pencil straight. All the bridges were tall enough for us to get under, so even the opportunity to interact with a grumpy bridge tender was off the table. The word that popped into my head was “boring.”  How can you be bored on a cruising adventure!? I should have learned the answer to that question long ago: you can’t!  Torrential rain, thunder and lightning made the trip anything but boring. Visibility was so poor at some points that Cliff said navigating was like playing a computer game where the goal was to keep the boat icon on the magenta  line and not hit any of the day marks.

Radar shows us in the center of the storm.

 

If any of you wins the lottery, please consider a manse on Johns Island. Oh my. I imagine it’s residents are retired CEOs or scientists with lucrative patents. Definitely not rock stars, Kardashians, sheiks or sports heroes. See the photos below.

If you can enlarge this shot, you’ll see that Johns Island homes have plenty of elbow room!

 

Off to the Chart House to splurge for our anniversary dinner!
