Charleston summary
We had a whirlwind visit with our friend who lives in Charleston (actually nearby in Folly Beach – that’s a whole ‘nother place and story). We had a nice lunch, a couple of very nice dinners, did some shopping, and went to see the Low Country High …

Nate’s Notes #9: A Near Death Experience
I know it is not good to start off with an apology but I really have a good excuse for not writing my log for such a long time. As chief engineer aboard Idyll Time (IT), my duties are many. Mostly these involve undoing things with my beak. After putting our boat in storage for […]
