Today we got to Sail! We had the sails out for about 3 hours before we had to bring them in for some narrow parts of the ICW. We made it to Hilton Head, SC a little after noon. We decided to anchor in Broad creek, which has some very powerful currents, but we should

Today we stayed on Anchor to explore Beaufort, SC- we started by taking a five mile walk on the spanish moss trail. It was a perfect weather morning, before it gave away to a humid 80 degree afternoon. Beaufort has a great waterfront park with several swinging chairs to relax on. After our walk we

It has been an exciting 24 hours, we had some very bad thunderstorms roll through last night, one of which put us aground. We were just getting to bed and the winds picked up, we felt the boat shaking and whipping around, until it came to a forceful stop. We were anchored in what the

We have been in Charleston , SC since Tuesday, doing a mix of boat work and tourist things. This is a very nice city, with so many options for food. We went on a food tour and a ghost tour. I would recommend this as stop for anyone passing buy or wanting to visit somewhere

The last few day we had some ups and downs. After a very rainy day on Thursday we decided not to travel, I spent the day learning how to edit videos. which should be coming soon. We walked to the beach once the rain stopped then had some pasta salad for dinner. On Friday we

Today we traveled about 40 miles to the town of Holden Beach, we picked up a transient slip at the town docks. This is the perfect spot to stop on this leg, since there really isn’t any good anchorages that our boat will fit into for another 40 miles. We did have to dinghy across

Today was like a dream come true, I got to go to see a botanical garden. The Airlie Garden in Wilmington to be exact. — Yes that would be in a sarcastic tone… It all started around 8:30 AM when i was forced to go for a Uber ride to this magical place, What is

We woke up to a morning temp of 48 degrees, our first shot of Fall weather on the boat. Once out of bed we quickly threw on all of our foul weather gear, 2 hats and gloves. We started the engine around 7 and were back on the ICW by 7:15 am. It was only

We motored all day today, the ICW is very narrow where we are now, it goes from 15 ft to 1 ft depths in a matter of seconds, so we needed to pay attention all day so we did not run aground. Our speed varied also, we kept the same rpm’s on the engine and
