Offshore run to Charleston

35 miles to the entrance channel. Very light wind on the tail and a quartering sea of maybe 2 feet. Pretty good run so far, the sea combined with the light wind makes for a pretty rolling ride. I'll be happy to tie up in Charleston later this morning. The City Marina will be doing the repairs that knucklehead left us to attend to. I would think we'll be there a week or so.
Just around sunset, we had a pod of dolphins playing in our bow wave and swimming alongside and trading sides. They looked like they were having a blast. When we get in we'll post the video Lex shot. The kids were thrilled. It was a pretty cool sight.
My watch is coming to an end until 0230 then back on after a couple of zzz in the cockpit tethered like the ball in the backyard by the pool. No boats, a few birds and no moon. Passages just like we like them. Boring!


Thanks to the Ordways and Marty and Hernan for keeping track of our cruise plan and making sure we arrived in Charleston! Its really nice to have people looking out for us.

Go on the Charleston Ghost Tour at night (if they still have it). Great thing to do at Halloween and then see if you can catch sight of the ghost at Poogan's Porch for breakfast. (Queen street) Whaaaoooooooooohhhhhh!!
