Travel Day April 16, 24 (Morehead to Belhaven) Travel Day # 76

Scott here. Today I am leaving the Morehead City Yacht Basin and heading to our final destination, for a while, to Belhaven. This is a sadder day for me than Rita. But I am excited because she is so excited to spend time around family. Don’t get me wrong, I am happy see family, I…

Travel Day April 13, 24 (Myrtle Beach to Carolina Beach, NC) Travel Day # 74

Scott here. Unfortunately we only get to stay one night here. More would be better. I have said that A LOT lately. But, we must go. I am trying to split up our final 3 travel days before Belhaven evenly. I think we have done OK with that so far. But, Sunday looks like a…

Travel day April 11, 24 (Georgetown to Little River, SC) Travel day #73

Scott here. This stop will be at a marina, there just isn’t an anchorage with a decent travel window. So we will be staying at the Myrtle Beach Yacht Club for the night. It isn’t a long way, but I’m hoping to get an early start to explore the marina and area. Maybe do that…

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. The crew reached the marina earlier than planned, anticipating a dinner with a friend tonight or tomorrow night. The day’s…

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…

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…

Travel day April 02, 24 (Cumberland Island to Jekyll Island) Travel day #66 and Stats

Scott here. Late on this sorry! We decided on a short travel today. Initial plan was to go from Jacksonville to Jekyll Island, but we decided we wanted to stop at Cumberland Island. The joys of no super detailed plan, we can make changes as we see fit! Good thing this was a planned short…
