A number of observations - the Turkey Vultures seem to have gone and as you can see Fall is just getting underway. As we came across Port Royal Sound to Hilton Head Island we saw numerous Dolphins which is hardly surprising - we were off Dolphin Head.
We managed to get under way at 9:30 am, winds gusting to 10 NM blowing the fog away. Entering the ICW we were 8th of 10 boats in the Parade heading south.
What manner of boat is this? Four spreaders that you can see above the trees!
Mirabella V largest single masted yacht in the world - she is 247' LOA 48.5' Beam weighing in at 765 Tonnes
There isn't a bridge in navigable waters that she can fit under!
We needed gas and a pump-out so we pulled into Isle of Hope Marina. Wayne is upset - don't believe the advertisments in the Cruising Guides. This place has a fleet of loaner cars (2) unpararlled views from every slip (of the ICW) well at least the WiFi works - its a nice place.
This is as close as you get to Sun-Set we needed groceries and it was dark when we got back.
A Hercules Transport plane just flew over - must be a base near here somewhere. Jeff has a theory, the ceasefire is over and the South is amassing military might here in readiness for a counter attack against the North.
Sleep tight - but keep a gun under yer pillow ya-all might need it! Oh and if you didn't notice we are now in Georgia.
