Didn't Know I'd need a Sports Bra
Today we had an excursion to Daufuskie Island. The only way to get there is by water, so we boarded the Delta Lady on Broad Creek and headed to this island inhabited by numerous native tribes until the early 1700's. From Broad Creek Marina to Daufuskie would take 1-hr. All went well except for a wind gust that blew Bill's hat off and well, bye bye!
Once we disembarked, bought Bill a hat at the local mercantile before we took off on our golf carts to visit several sites on the island (the only transport on island).
Unlike others on the boat, we decided to skip the included buffet lunch (and our ticket price was discounted) and headed out for lunch at Bloody Point where we would enjoy a very relaxing lunch on the veranda at Eagles Nest Restaurant. And as Carla would say...and this is why we don't take the included tour! It was quiet, serene and lovely.
After lunch, the adventures continued over some paved roads, some dirt roads with bumps and dips over tree roots and ruts. In fact, one of the ladies commented "I didn't know we'd need sports bras today".
First stop included beach combing to collect shells and enjoy the beauty and views. Notice, no crowds.
We then stopped at the First Union African Baptist Church built in 1882 still in use today. It was interesting to see that there were two front doors to the church. The right door for women and left for men, the only type segregation.
We ckecked out the Bloody Point Lighthouse, the Mary Dunn Cemetery, Iron Fish Gallery, Silver Dew Winery and many other historic points.
All in all, we had a fun, adventurous 5-hr day on a small island tucked between Savannah and Hilton Head full of history dating back several centuries.
