ON THE WATER IN BEAUTIFUL CHARLESTON SOUTH CAROLINA

During the last week of May we finally made it back into the wonderful state of South Carolina.  Of all of the states that we visited I have to say that our home state is the most beautiful.  And the Low Country (east of I-95) is the most scenic in the state. The coastal waters are dotted with barrier islands, wildlife and marshes that can take your breath away.
Since we basically had not done much at all in the way of visiting what our area has to offer, I planned a "date night" for us that included a trip on a boat with Barrier Island Eco tours.  It was a 2.5 hour cruise that took us out through the marshes, along with dolphins and summer breezes, to Capers Island. It was a gorgeous summer night and the trip was a little piece of Heaven.  
We had a crew of three.  Captain Jim, Courtney and Moses.  They were all great guides, but my very favorite was Moses.
Moses was waiting to greet us as we boarded the boat.
Moses said hi to each one of us once we got seated.
Moses stood at the front of the boat and watched for dolphins...he was a great spotter.
Moses led us down the island to Boneyard Beach.
Moses loved everyone and everyone loved Moses and Moses loved his job, we could tell.
Just so you can appreciate Moses, here are some pics....

Seriously, if you live in the Low Country, I highly recommend Barrier Island Eco tours.  You will learn a lot and have loads of fun.  They leave from Isle of Palms Marina most days of the week and you will need reservations.  You can locate them at 

Nothing can be finer than to be in Carolina.....anytime!
