Update from Georgetown, SC
Scott here. I am thinking (maybe praying) we have hit the top of the storm and are on the back side of the worst of it. It is still raining, choppy, bouncy and lots of waves. But, we have been in worse. At least the current and waves are in the same direction and we…

Travel day #72 stats
Scott here. Just to throw it out there, feel free to follow us on Facebook as well. Just do a search for MY Happiness or Surf & Turf Retirement. Today was a pretty long day, not our longest day, but long enough. We made it to Georgetown to walk the dog at a nearby beach…

Travel day April 10, 2024 (Charleston to Georgetown, SC) Travel day #72
Scot here. Quick lay over and it is time to go. If we stay 3 days we have to stay 4 as the weather looks bad on the 11th. This marina is too expensive for that and we need to get some miles under the belt. It is becoming pretty hard to find anchorages with…

Travel Day April 8, 24 (Fenwick Island to Charleston) Travel Day #71 and Stats
The post describes a travel day from Fenwick Island to Charleston, SC, marking the 71st day of travel in a boat. The journey involved anchoring, navigating shoals, and passing through Elliott Cut with favorable timing.

Travel Day April 7, 24 (Hilton Head to Fenwick Island) Travel Day #70 and stats
Scott here, trying to get caught up again! Today (well technically yesterday but lets pretend I typed this yesterday!) We went to church and had a great service said good-by to family and went back to the marina. It was great borrowing a truck, we were able to get some groceries and make it to…

Travel Day April 5, 24 (Daufuskie Landing to Hilton Head) Travel Day #69
Scott here again! This will get us caught up to today. We had a planned very short day. We are staying in a marina and wanted to get to the marina earlier than later to get our money’s worth. Sounds cheap, but I like to think is smart. And, I’m frugal not cheap! The weather…

Travel Day April 4, 24 (Richmond Hill to Daufuskie Landing) Travel Day #68 and stats
Scott here. After the fact post here. I fell behind! This day we traveled from Rainbow Bend anchorage to Daufuskie Island and the New River anchorage. The day was simply crappy. Raining, windy, overcast and cold. We saw very few boats. We only had one scary part, a small river called Hell Gate. The channel…

Air Show, Boat Show, & Diving?
You never know what you might see while traveling along. A short time after leaving our anchorage at Villanova Beach, near St Augustine, we came across a small plane doing tricks in the air. He was doing loops and twists and climbs and dives! I was captivated, and then Scott pointed out two police boats…

Travel Day #67 stats
Scott here! Today was a planned long day, not our longest, but a long day none the less. I was up before first light to get the dinghy ready for first light to talk Jazzy for a walk. We soon after our return. As you can see below much of the trip was pretty boring.…

Travel day April 3, 24 (Jekyll Island to Richmond Hill) Travel day #67
Scott here again. Today will probably be a long travel day for us, unless we decide to stop early. We have anchorages picked out starting at 4 hours. We will see how we feel. We have built in rest days for needed. I could have spent another night here to be able to get to,the…
