Did not get to Charleston until Sunday July 4th, and we did not have time to get to Hilton Head that evening, so we just stayed in Charleston.
We got to watch the fireworks from the U.S.S. Yorktown, and it was just awesome!
Hilton Head is about a 2 1/2 hour trip from Charleston, so we did that a couple of days later. The boat is very busy with guests right now, so I only got to stay a day on the boat. I am hoping to get back to Hilton Head this Fall after show season is over, and be able to spend 3 or 4 days on board.
Here are a few pics of my day on the boat!
Shelter Cove Marina, where the boat is docked. Lots of timeshares there (hint, hint!)

A Texan died and went to heaven ...
A Texan died and went to heaven where St. Peter met him at the Pearly Gates. “Show me what you got, Pete,” said Tex.
St. Peter swung open the gates and revealed a beautiful landscape of mountains, rivers, streams, trees, flowers and all the trimmings.
“We’ve got that in Texas. We call it King Ranch,” said Tex.
St. Pete flashed up a scene of men, women and children frolicking on the countryside, riding coaches, swinging, swimming, riding horses, bicycling, etc.
“We’ve got that, too. We call it Six Flags.”
Whereupon St. Peter threw open a trapdoor of the fires of Hell and out shot a huge ball of fire followed by a solid stream of flame sweeping over the entire area. The blinding light and heat were enormous.
“We don’t have that,” said Tex, “but we’ve got a guy in Houston who can put it out.”
