Hooked up the computer and printer and cranked out a bunch of letters and stuff. After lunch, we went on a fun bus ride through historic Beaufort. Our seats were right in front on the top deck of an old London double-decker bus. Interesting tour.
Found out that the putrid fish is called Menhaden. It's a small fish that abounds in these waters. They catch them by the thousands. Fortunately, they're not usually eaten by humans; they're made into catfood, fertilizer, etc. Apparently, the people who live here are used to the stench. They don't seem to mind it.
When we got back to the boat, we went paddling. Paddled over to a deserted island where there was an old brick chimney, but we couldn't get close to the chimney. The wind came up, and it looked as if it was going to storm, so we paddled back to the boat. Got there around five o'clock.
