Down to the bayou

  Today's exploration in our area. Down to the bayou, or Bucksport Marina, SC.

It is a launch point for boats onto the Waccamaw river in SC., a huge river coming down out of NC.

Anyway, Marg & I walked the marina looking at various boats and met a nice lady that lived on their 50' sailboat with her husband and 2 children.

She was very nice and wanted to share her story, a story of raising children, home schooling, her husband, and how they survive on their boat.

She told us of their trips from the northern Atlantic seaboard to the Keys of Florida.

They use solar power to recharge the batteries, have a generator as a backup, and she raises Quail for their fresh eggs. She even gave us one of the fresh eggs as a gift, wow!

Their cat has never lived on land, and was obviously enjoying the day on the boat.

Nice person Marcia is, not of the same beliefs that we are, but one that we will look for in the coming weeks.

She opened her home, a 50' sailboat to us and gave us a gift, real people.

Nice to meet real people living the true struggle of life, and not judging you...
