Thanksgiving down south

Made it up the St. Johns river November 23 and was happy to pass all the bridges down the river heading for Ortega Landing Marina. Thanksgiving was cooked on the boat and despite no stuffing, was still quite filling. Staying put here for a bit, weather nice, location nice, and its Florida!

The good and bad in Beaufort, SC

The Bad : 1. weather

Sunny Charleston, SC

Jim left Beaufort on Tuesday and arrived Charleston, SC Thursday. The offshore sail was better than the first leg. Marinas are quite full in Charleston, and Jim anchored night one. Ashley Marina on the Ashley River was able to provide a slip for Jim, and because of the Patriots game being televised on CBS, he will not go back to anchor until Monday.

Robin/Rain, wind and cold
Jim and Blondie are hold up in the slip at Cottage Park Yacht Club, waiting for the weather window to improve, winds subside, and seas, too. It was supposed to have been a departure on October 12th, but mother nature determined otherwise. More time to shore up on provisions, etc. It appears that the ETD will be 0400 on Tuesday morning. The course set is offshore to Norfolk, VA, approximately 450 nautical miles to go
