N32.5 W79.6 Charleston, South Carolina
Wind, wind, where for art thou? Southport was a nice place to rest and relax, but ultimately, the wait for wind was tiring. Fire up the engine, and away we go. A 24 hour trip, carefully timed with tidal currents, we left Southport at 9am and arrived at the entrance to Charleston Harbour at 8am.
Not a breath of wind.
Which meant the DENSE PATCHY FOG wouldn't blow away.
We dropped anchor outside Charleston harbour and waited for the fog to lift. It was splendid, watching dolphins and jelly fish frolic around the boat.
Finally, into the fog-bitten Charleston we went, replaced the diesel we burned on the way, and tied into our slip.
Here, we will wait for Toby's arrival on Friday from New York. The three of us will sail 410 nautical miles directly to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, a trip we expect will take 3-4 days.
