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…

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…

Scott here. Day late, sorry! We had a decent run from Jacksonville to Cumberland Island. We anchored near Plum Orchard and were treated by wild horses. I’ll let Rita tell you about the island and our adventures there. Our anchorage was off the ICW on the Brickhill River. There was a dredge in front of…
