On the way to Florida.
Got in town with the boat, spent a couple of days provisioning, setting things up. Went through the mental agony of - why are we putting this much "stuff" on the boat...
Left out Friday morning and went south on the ICW from Wrightsville, across Snow's Cut, and then down the Cape Fear river. Pulled into Bald Head Marina for the night on Friday.
Lo and behold, I floated into a CSR party - well, it seemed like a party to me. Matt and Reese were there with some others. We wound up in the same general vicinity on the docks.
Was great meeting and visiting with them.
Saturday morning we left Bald Head and went to Charleston.
NE wind, so we had following seas all day - until we turned into the Charleston ship channel to come in. Wasn't sure just what was along the shore after Cape Romaine, so came into the channel out around R6. Was a bit of a hike to get into the Jetties.
We lengthened the trip from Bald Head to Charleston a bit by following the curve of the coast line for a ways. Was trying to stay in the lee side of Cape Fear for a while to get help with waves.
Coming across, we did have some waves - but pretty low frequency. I would say everything we picked up from forecast sources was pretty accurate.
Leaving shortly, headed to Hilton Head.
Will start getting some pictures uploaded in a day or so.
