Thanks again to our dear friend Luke (aka “Boomdoggie”) for taking us out in the estuary. We love kayaking and, in our opinion, Charleston is one of the very best places to get out on the water.

As we glided along through calm water, the only sounds we heard were bird calls and the slow lapping of water through the reeds.

And then, like magic, as smooth as a sharp knife through thawed butter, a fin emerged from the water in front of us, followed by a shiny, sloping back, and descended beneath the surface again without a splash. and then again, but this time with a miniature version. A mom and calf! It was a majestic moment. 

To anyone planning a visit to Charleston, make sure to add kayaking to your itinerary. We recommend Charleston Outdoor Adventures - don't forget to ask for Luke!
