Shipment with the Carolina Belle in the port of Charleston

Today we took a tour of the waters off the Charleston Peninsula with the Carolina Belle.

Our captain was a really cool guy. He steered the ship with his feet while telling us a lot. (see last photo here.....)

We had the opportunity to look at the beautiful and outrageously expensive houses on the waterfront from the water, passed by Fort Sumter and the USS Yorktown aircraft carrier.

The Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge is the third longest suspension bridge in the USA. We have driven over it several times by car (8 lanes) Now we could admire it from the water. So beautiful!
