Another Day in Georgetown
Friday, November 25, 2016
Today was a maintenance day for the boats and boaters. Paul had a number of projects to complete on Enough. Having the truck allowed us to get parts and Paul needed a few items. Dwayne studied the cruising guide Paul had for the inlets on the Atlantic. A jump from Georgetown to Charleston will eliminate the challenges associated with shoaling at McClellanville and the restrictions on the Ben Sawyer Bridge. Charleston to Savannah would also be a good run off-shore. Frank and Carol did the run from Savannah to St. Simons because of a bridge closure today. Paul wants to go off-shore all the way to Key West. He's having a great time sailing south and likes not having to have one eye on the depth sounder to avoid running aground on the ICW. Dwayne also read Paul's copy of the American Sailing Association's Guide for Bareboat Cruising. It was a good refresher and had a few useful tips.
Too bad boat handling and navigation is not as easy as the book makes it out to be.
