FOG - FOG - FOG ----we hate FOG! More of that icky stuff this morning but we took off at 8:45. Wasn't too bad but then got worse and so for about 1 hour 15 minutes, we were in pea soup occasionally seeing land, but not fun! Radar was our guiding light. But then tah dah....all clear and smooth sailing!
We cruised along with the dolphins, but no sun today. Had planned to stop in Beaufort, SC but things were going well, so decided to keep on and tonight we are at the Skull Creek Marina in
Hilton Head. We did 66 miles this first day arriving at 2:30 and passed by some of the gorgeous homes of this upscale island but also saw damage from Hurricane Matthew. In fact, some of the marinas are still closed because of Matthew. Here at Skull Creek, they lost their gas pump dock....1 boat sank and a few had some damage; altogether, not too bad in comparison.
Did a load of laundry and then walked to the Old Fort Pub - wow, beautiful place with fabulous food in a pretty setting with Liam, our server doing an outstanding job!
I had shrimp 'n grits and Mark had the short ribs!
Love being back in Lowcountry!!!
