Butler Island, SC 032718

 The next several pictures are of how low the water/tide is....



 Not sure what they are looking at....clams maybe??
 This is definitely clam hunting!

 Bob found this is on the side of the road in St. Augustine
He gave it to me as a gift for my bicycle...what a man!

 Do you see the dolphin fin at the bottom of the picture?
There were 3 dolphins out there playing with the birds....
it was so cool to watch!
 They would fly and just stay one step ahead of us!

 Drying time....not the same birds
 Hmmmm.....interesting story...... :-)
I was driving and Bob was napping....I was coming up on this guy and
I wasn't sure what to say to contact him about going around him....so I
wake Bob up and I ask him to come out and help me....He asked what
the problem was and I told him I want to pass him but I don't know what
to call him on the radio....Tug boat at mm so and so, would that be
appropriate....Bob looks and was about to say something when all of a sudden
this guy comes across the radio "Catamaran at mm ?? you need to decide
which side you want to go by me on....I'm hauling 350 tons of steel and
you need to move.....I looked at Bob and asked if he was talking to me???
Totally surprised of course, then Bob realizes, we're not following him, he
is coming right at us!  Bob said, move out of the way and immediately
moved out of his way....Needless to say, I felt like an idiot....but Bob
admitted that he thought we were behind him also....you see 98% of the time
(at least in my world), when a tug is around, the tug is usually pushing....
this one was pulling, and not only that, there was a second tug on the back of him pushing....
I really need to get some glasses!
 Back to sight-seeing again :-)
Where we dropped anchor!
 
It was a long cold, cloudy day today.  Once we dropped anchor I made dinner, Bob worked on paperwork, and then we went to bed.  Pretty exhausted!
