Short Visit to Isle of Hope

In July, our grandson, Dylan came to visit for a couple of weeks. Having him here was a lot of fun for us and meant we really used the pool and the Dataw facilities more than usual. We spent a lot of time swimming and playing in the pool with him. In addition, at the end of his visit, Dylan was scheduled to visit his other grandparents on Skidaway Island in Georgia. we opted to transport him there by way of Wind Dancer. The cruise through the intercoastal marshes of South Carolina brought views of birds and dolphins and lovely scenery. Dylan acted as our lookout for markers, and had a chance to steer the boat and sleep aboard.

 

 

Isle of Hope Marina is located on the waterfront in the beautiful old section of the town with its stunning live oaks and genteel homes. The marina offers free use of a car fro errands and bicycles for exploring. we made use of the bicycles, which had seen better days. The salt air and exposure to the elements made the bicycles minimally acceptable.

Enjoyable dinners with Dylan's other grandparents, the Weitzells added to the experience.
