N 33′ 45.567′/ W 078′ 48.050′ Osprey Marina, Myrtle Beach, SC Hauled anchor @ 7:25 a.m. Windlass resisted its job of pulling up the anchor so Luke had to pull 70 feet of chain plus 44 lbs. of anchor. Got my workout this a.m. Sunny, 21 kts. from east. Current against us all day. Slowed cruising […]
Savannah City Dock, Savannah, Georgia
Wow! We’ve returned to civilization. Much of yesterday and this morning were spent going through very lonely areas on the ICW, nothing in sight but marsh, with some trees in the distant background. Cell phone coverage was spotty at best. Then we came p…

Kilkenny Marina, Kilkenny Creek, Georgia

N 32′ 46. 210′/W 080′ 03. 730′–We departed early at 7:30 a.m. from Beaufort, SC and had sunny weather, smooth as silk waters, winds were 12 knots from the North. With the exception of some strong currents as one creek or river crossed another, we had a very pleasant ride today. We noticed less marsh land, more […]
