Hoping the boat is ok and most important you!

Thank you! We are all fine now! My toe was definitely broken but is fully heeled now and we managed to get all the damage fixed up in a couple of days. We are lucky it wasn’t worse!

I once was sent to a slip at that city dock and expected to land with the current. I gave up on that marina. It's not suitable for small boats. Better to use the one under the bridge or bypass visiting there. Another dock with similar issues is Thindetbolt Marina but you can ask for an inside spot next to the wall. That dock is at a proper height. Good you were able to move along and enjoy the sights of Beaufort.

Yeah we definitely learned our lesson! We spent the second night at the marina under the bridge. And the currents in Charleston are CRAZY! We stayed at Thunderbolt without issue but I could totally see it being an issue if someone ignored the no wake. The docks aren’t quite as high but still way to big for a boat our size.

I'm sure it was a sport fisherman boat, they don't know the meaning of no wake zone or slow pass.
