Maritime

My arms are aching from the gloriousness of yesterday.  I am so in love with the maritime culture here in Charleston.  I met some friends for lunch on the creek, changed into my bathing suit in the bathroom, and hopped on their boat.  We dropped the anchor and went swimming in the vast openness of the Wando River, then took the Intracoastal back to her house.  


After a brief pause we came back to my side of town to go kayaking.  We left the dock prepared for a nice little evening ride, but ended up using the rest of the daylight.  One thing we mused over was how exciting dolphins are.  It doesn't matter that we grew up with them and see them every single time we go boating, we still get excited about seeing them.  We also saw two sea turtles!  I've never seen one in Charleston, so that was an exciting moment.  A dinner and impromptu chocolate chip cookies enjoyed in the company of old friends was the perfect ending to a perfect day.  Ah, if only I could do this every day...
