Beaufort, SC

Monday - Reached Beaufort by noon. No rain but overcast till afternoon, cool. Nice trip !
Stayed at Beaufort Downtown Marina, two days. Everything was good until we returned to the boat after 3 hours checking out the town. The BIRDS crapped all over the boat.
Tuesday - I woke up looking up at the hatch above my bead and it had CRAPP all over it. Time to take action !!! I rigged several monifilament lines over the boats length, between the antennaes, for and aft. No more BIRD problems!!!! Still some crap but will not clean up until time to depart. These are like a black bird but have a brown chest.
On the bright side, we took a horse drawn carriage ride to experience the history of Beaufort. In its day, Beaufort was very wealthy and a center for cotton. 64 out islands, with 31 inhabitable.
Very good food, chocolate, specility shops but too many BIRDS.
