Since St Augustine, we anchored at Fernandina Beach, Darien River, Isle of Hope, Paris Island, Church Creek .
The magenta line on our electronic charts disappeared and I made a wrong turn one day. This cost us almost 3 hours of progress that day. To further make a bad day get worse, we got hit by a thunderstorm. It only lasted 25 minutes, but the winds hit 30 knots consistent with gusts to 45 and the rain was coming sideways, waves built to about a foot and half in no time at all. We both got drenched, but as expected it blew through very quickly. We battened very thing down, but we forgot the aft cabin window. Our bed got a bit wet. Once w anchored we were able to dry it out fairly well by opening up the engine well and the built up engine heat was able to dry out the mattress. After 4 hours we were back in shape.
Our days are pretty routine , we usually depart by 7:30 am and go for 8-10 hours. WE have been fortunate that the winds tend to die down at night and the current although around knots doesn't affect us much. Although we have had storms around us most days , other than the on I mentioned above, w have ben dry and lucky
Well that's it for now, here are some new pics
