THIS IS ANOTHER ONE OUT OF ORDER1
We are lying 3 miles above the beautiful Mount Pleasant Bridge in North Charleston SC. Alois and I flew back in last night after and nice visit home in Richmond to see family and friends. The holidays are always rushed and we only wish we had had time to visit with more of you. I, Alois, flew home the day after the accident to be there for Jay’s graduation. It was a surprise for him and the surprise on his face when he saw me and then the grin that spread all the way up his face, was enough to make any mother’s heart feel good. His girlfriend gave him a very nice family party afterward. We were all sorry that Jack couldn’t be with us to celebrate this wonderful accomplishment with him.
All repairs are complete and the boat is literally better than new. Today we are off again on the trek south. We will catch up on a little laundry and leave late morning. This next section of the waterway is through the low country and we are excited to see it. The next community of any size is Beaufort (Bofort SC not to be confused with Buford NC). More catching up later. A&J

Jack;
Glad to see you are alive and well. I was reading your notes, and as our family is originaly from SC I wanted to correct your pronunciation of Beauford SC & NC (Bofort SC not to be confused with Buford NC - actually reversed). We actually had family that lived in “Buford” SC (that is how they said it and were VERY clear in correcting us) and vacationed at Emerald Isle NC right next to “Boford” NC. As my understanding you had it reversed, but who am I to correct a Pirate such as yourself especiallywith your vast knowledge of coastal communities.
I hope your trip can continue without damaging your or other’s vessels in the future. Stay safe and when you need to make some money to continue your journey, you can always come to Danville for a period of time and get out and sell chairs for 50% of the profit! What a deal!
Best regards!
