The Loggerhead

Sarah, Jeff, and the boys are vacationing in Charleston, SC this week. On Sunday, our friend, Lance, took the family on a sailboat ride on Charleston Harbor. Lance has purchased his own sailboat, The Loggerhead. This is his permanent residence.

A few shots of an amazing bridge. The Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, also known as the New Cooper River Bridge, is a cable-stayed bridge over the Cooper River. This bridge connects downtown Charleston to Mount Pleasant. The eight lane bridge satisfied the capacity of U.S. Route 17 when it opened in 2005 to replace two obsolete cantilever truss bridges. The bridge has a main span of 1,546 feet (471 m), the longest among cable-stayed bridges in the Western Hemisphere. It was built using the design-build method and was designed by Parsons Brinckerhoff.
