Charlestown, SC

Coming into Charlestown was quite a treat. We immediately were reminded of Maine. Right in the same harbor we recognized two boats from our past. The first was the "Francis Marion" from Northeast Harbor and the second was "Serenity" from Belfast. The Francis Marion was a boat that Steve helped take care of when with Morris Yachts and the Serenity was a boat that we chartered during our wedding and for a few years after before she was sold to its current owner.

Charlestown is full of Civil War History. We actually sailed past Fort Sumter where I believe the first shots of the war were fired, upon coming into port. We would have loved to take in more of the history but didn't have enough time. We did however enjoy its aquarium!
