This is how we began our little "Adventure" to see the Tall Ships at the Charleston Harbor Fest. We decided to use the "remote" parking and take advantage of the shuttles. What we didn't plan on was 100 degree weather and long bus rides!
We also didn't plan on the crowds! The 15 minute plus waits in line to get on the boats and then a wait in line just to get off the boat. I guess it would have been OK if it hadn't been so blamed hot but it really was blazing and not fun to stand in line.
We only boarded one boat - the Virginia, a 126' schooner, with the beautiful wheel, wooden blocks and coiled sheets and all the shiny varnished teak.
Neither Kirby nor Brendan is nice about having their picture taken - this is the best I got!
We felt that we spent the day on the hot, non-air conditioned School Buses - we rode to the first stop - about 15 minutes, stood in line and waited for the next one to take us to the area with the big boats and then rode again for 10 minutes and then back to point A and then back to the parking lot.....about an hour and 15 minutes or more all together not counting the waiting in line. I don't think we will go again next year - especially at $20 a person!!
