Bluffton SC

The Admirals of Galene and Shellerina standing by their yachts rafted up along side the municipal landing in the village of Bluffton. For a town I have NEVER heard of, this place is impressive!

Gene thanks Captain Pat Howard of Spartina whom he met dockside a few days ago for the tip about this great waterfront town in SC.

Gene and Ray found most businesses closed on this Sunday morning. Gene’s wife Patty confirmed that the local churches were open, as she was welcomed to their Eucharistic table as a late comer.

I guess we lucked out timing our arrival at slack tide AND just in time for Communion!

The Church of the Cross. Established 1767, Built 1854. One of several churches very close to the town landing.

We observed:
Great sounds will come from both their steeples and their congregations IF your timing is right!

(There were several places open for Sunday Brunch. But our Admirals had fed us already.)

Thoughts On ART…

If you like art galleries, this town has them every 50 steps as one walks around the village, and the quality of the paintings that I could see, strongly suggested a return visit when I both

1) have more time

AND

2) have a home with walls to hang the art in!!!

FYI: One of the disadvantages of full time living aboard a boat is the lack of wall space to hang favorite pieces we have produced or found in places like Bluffton SC. (Though Patty has several of her small creations hanging up on Galene!)

(Side Note: We did enjoy gifting many pieces of our art “collection” from our ‘dirt’ home as we transitioned to a full-time live-aboard lifestyle in 2021. I did not have the heart to have art wrapped up and sitting in storage! Art belongs on-display where it can be loved.)

Well worth the 7-mile trip up May River.
