Foggy Days at Sea

Bill at Sea Pines

We had a long day to get to Hilton Head, but treated ourselves to a night at Harbortown in Sea Pines. We tied up at the fuel dock, which was right in front of the bar, so we had live music!


In the Atlantic in the fog



The next morning we headed out early, and just as we cleared the inlet the fog rolled in, really thick. We were glad we had decided to go outside instead of the inside ICW route that day, because we were the only boat out there. Listening to the boats on the inside, it sounded very difficult, with narrow channels and other boats to contend with. Still, it was unnerving not to be able to see any markers, and we were relieved when it finally lifted so we could see  the way into an inlet to anchor for the night. 

Keeping a Lookout


Today, after a peasoup beginning, we continued south on the ICW past Jekyll Island, Cumberland Island, St. Simon's Island and a whole lot of other pretty spots, and anchored in a fairly ugly place just south of Fernandino Beach (Amelia Island). The objective was to get close to Jacksonville so we have a short run tomorrow. Once in Jacksonville we'll take care of some boat things, then hop a plane Sunday to head home until after the new year. See you all soon!
