During the night our water pump failed, so we had one more problem to add to the list of things that have broken during the trip, but at least we were in a good place to have repairs made.
Jeremy, the most wonderful electrician, came to the boat at 9am, finished the repairs to the alternator, and then went to work on the water pump (this is the one that supplies water to the sinks, the head, and the shower)
We ended up installing a new pump
All the work was finished by 2pm, and we called a taxi and went into town.
Downtown Beaufort is about 3 blocks long, along the waterfront, filled with restaurants and Tchotsky shops, all of which we visited.
The most wonderful shop was an Olive Oil store....who knew there were so many different types of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. We tasted way too many and ended up buying 5 bottles. I'm looking forward to mixing Garlic flavored olive oil with Capucinno flavored balsamic vinegar!
We returned to the boat, rested up for a bit, and then joined the crew for dinner at the Spouter restaurant back in downtown Beaufort.
