[/caption]Before daybreak, we are awakened to the sound of bow thrusters and stern thrusters as several of the mega yachts at the City Marina mega dock maneuver into the Ashley River to resume their journey south along the waterway. At mid-morning slack tide, we weigh anchor in the Ashley River and move Cutter Loose to a slip at the Charleston Maritime Center on the Cooper River. We are pleased with our new digs here in Charleston as it eliminates the need to contend with the current in the Ashley River. Our slip is within a five minute walk of the Harris Teeter grocery store and a fresh vegetable market.

[/caption]After washing Cutter Loose, we stroll along King Street until the retail experience becomes too intense. Charleston does not appear to be adversely impacted by the slow economy. We retreat to quieter residential neighborhoods. Tonight we enjoy a delectable dining experience at FIG, then resume our walk along King Street. Visiting Charleston is truly one of the highlights of our cruise along the waterway.
