St Johns Yacht Basin, Saturday - leaving Sunday 11-25

Saturday the car had to go back - and early. Wi-Fi was not working at the marina - but the sun was shining. I am still in awe of the tides, especially what is revealed during low tide. We dilly dallied the day away, filled the water tanks, did a little moving around and stowing gear, getting ready for our departure Sunday morning. True to the forecast the temp's dropped to the low 30's but we were toasty warm running our small heaters.

Sunday morning's cold dawn, made us shiver even though we dressed warm. Casting off lines to start south we slid out from the marina with no drama. We just might be getting the hang of this docking thing. The trip to Beaufort was slow and easy, though there were a couple of tricky shallow cuts that Tom expertly maneuvered us through.  More to come on the next blog.

Never let it be said that boaters don't decorate for Christmas
Tom won't let me get one

Took a while to realize High tide was in and this boat was sunk
