This cruising is a piece of cake...

Today we left dock at 8:30 bound for Georgetown, S. C. (a 38 mile voyage). The tide with us plus a slight tail wind which allowed a cruising speed of almost 12 MPH. We were in our new dock with power and cable TV hooked up by NOON ! Laura said " Boy, there's nothing to this cruising. Great weather, calm water, no traffic, this is easy and fun". For those who were on board for earlier parts of this trip you surely remember docking in the dark, high waves, pouring rain, desperately looking for the next marker, and all the other less than perfect times. Let's hope Laura and Brutie don't have any of those memorable experiences. 

  We are planning 3 more days of cruising at about 65 miles per day. That will put us in Hilton Head Friday, October 28th (three days ahead of schedule). 

The fishing fleet at Georgetown. One of these LARGE boats lost power when leaving port today and drifted into our neighbor's boat. Our neighbor was not happy.

This guy is docked one boat away from us (110 footer). Brutie tried to board her 3 times today.


Going out to lunch.
Lookin' good !
