A few weeks in GA

We're here in Brunswick
...and we will be here for a few weeks. After a short trip off shore between Charleston and Hilton Head, we turned back into the ICW so we could run the portable generators and get some heat. The run into and through GA was surprisingly nice. So, we'll be here for a few weeks for a short break to take care of some business back home.

A few points of caution for anyone who might be following our path through GA, you'll need to pay very close attention to those "Range - Boards" to stay in the deepest water. If you pay close attention to the currents and tides, you should not have a problem and might even get a nice 2 knot push along the way if you time your travels right.

The "Isle of Hope" marina provides a nice place to anchor near Savannah and if you give them $20, they'll give you keys to their facilities and even allow you the use of their bikes. After this a 50 or 60 mile run will put you near New Teakettle creek. This was a very nice anchorage with lots of protection and easy to anchor.

In Charleston, SC. Happy Thanksgiving

We're getting tired!
Nineteen days, and only two of those have produced even the slightest bit of sun! Traveling the ICW is nice enough, but it's not for anyone who has a destination in mind. Between the generally crappy weather and slow going, we're getting a little tired of the mundane motoring. So, after a few days here in Charleston, SC we'll be jumping out and going off coastal to Northern Florida Saturday, Novermber 24'th.

Meanwhile we'll be here in Charleston for Thanksgiving and some recharging of the batteries. We've decided to get some quality rest at one of the more expensive marina's in town. The services are nice, the scenery is gorgeous, and the mega-yachts... well; make us feel a little small. But, the scenery is nice!

For example; here is one of our neighbors http://www.timoneer.org/. I wonder what this 120 + Footer thought about a small 35 footer pulling into the neighborhood?

North Carolina and another storm system!

Here we are... oh wait, where are we again?

Oh yeah, BFE North Carolina! We had a short sail across the Albemarle Sound today, over to Alligator River Marina. We'll need to recharge our batteries and Stacie needs a stable place to work for a couple days.

Other than the fact that there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ON THE ALLIGATOR RIVER, it is quaint little place. We have a Truck Stop / Marina store, laundry and showers, WiFi and TV room... what else do we really need? So we'll see who else shows up, and maybe stay a few days waiting for the next storm system to pass by. (at this rate who knows how long it'll be before Miami!)

Sail'Oween

We're on our way!
So, the day after Hurricane Sandy paid us a visit we gathered up our stuff and finished getting the boat as ready as we were able. And, now we're off! If you'd like to see our progress you can find us on our "Spot Tracker page" where we post our progress every few minutes. ...

I'm tired, so this is all I can do for today. Hope to be back here soon.
