Our position: N31º40’.737, W081º09’504
Last night was “challenging” only in that I got up 6X to double check our anchor. We traveled through “Hell’s Gate” today, one of the 4 problem areas of Georgia. We saw 6.5’ of depth at mid-tide – yikes! Tonight we are anchored in a gorgeous anchorage off St. Catherine’s Sound. “Enchantment” is still with us and “Second Wind” is also anchored here. We are all planning to go offshore tomorrow for a long run down to St. Augustine, about 130 miles – our longest offshore passage to date. Winds appear to finally be favorable and we are looking forward to raising a sail. Our plan is to leave about noon tomorrow on a falling tide and then sail through the night to arrive in St. Augustine about daybreak. Tonight’s dinner was chicken quesadillas, black beans and rice just so you know that we aren’t starving! We traveled through Skidaway Narrows today in GA and the homes along the ICW were incredible – I would name a favorite only to recant and rename another favorite 10 minutes later. Wish us luck tomorrow – I don’t want you all to read about us in the Sun Journal!!!! You’ll have to wait for pictures as I’m using my cell phone as a modem and it is S-L-O-W!!!!
