We have spent 6 nights in Brunswick Landing Marina, Georgia waiting out Tropical Storm Beryl. Today was a huge reprieve from winds and rains. The sun came out, we had light wind, and everything dried out. There were lots of things to do to get ready to leave tomorrow. Peter finally got our Raymarine chart plotter upgraded by having a tech walk through it over the phone. We took off all the extra lines, cleaned, filled water and diesel tanks, ran the dingy to get water out of the gas tank, and put out the jackline. The weather has calmed down and Beryl is moving out to sea. We are leaving in the morning around 6:30-7:00 to travel to Charleston, SC. The winds are going to be light...under 10k and the sea is looking like 2' most of the trip. No thunderstorms are in the picture until Friday afternoon. By then we should be in our next location. We will motor sail offshore along the coastline overnight and plan to arrive in Charleston Harbor at slack tide apx. 6AM. We have a reservation at Charleston Harbor Marina which is open 24hours. Hopefully once in and tied up we will sleep for a few hours and then take a day to visit the town before moving on again. Wish us luck.
This evening we cooked shrimp and steak for our friends on s/v Narsilion Joe and Cherie and also Jim Hamrick who lives here. We had a wonderful time. Cruising is bittersweet....exciting but difficult to say good by to good friends you meet along the way.
