We had booked the megadock for two nights. We left the battleship anchorage in the early afternoon and headed over to the Charleston City Marina. It is race week in Charleston so many small boats were practicing and sailing in the harbor. We made our way easily. They originally had us in a spot between

Last evening, there was a little bit of excitement at the dock as the coast guard brought a boat in that was taking on water. Summer Wind had hit some rocks near Jekyll Island and sustained damage to their hull. They had just bought the boat two days prior and were bringing it to Savannah.
We thought about renting bikes.There is a surf shop nearby that rents them but it was not the best day for biking. We had saved 2 little museums for another rainy day and the Off the Hook restaurant that had been so nice to shelter us from the winds for these days. The museums were
We decided to spend another day at the marina. Yesterday, we were still tired and we had boat chores to complete. We were also still adjusting to leaving the Bahamas. Laura and I shared a ride in the morning to the Publix. Fort Pierce has a free ride service. You have to wait a bit

A cold front was due and the winds arrived around 2 am. We had wind and rain but no lightning. At one point I could not see the boats to our starboard. During the day, the winds increased and the showers became less frequent. It was a great day for blogging and watching basketball. We

March 18 – 20, 2026 (Wednesday-Friday) We had gone to Cape Eleuthera to avoid bad weather, only some of which behaved as predicted. The first part of the weather pattern was supposed to be very strong and unpredictable squalls with thunderstorms and strong winds in the squalls from potentially any direction. This was frightening from

Some other boaters were interested in joining our tour. Laura from S/V Aurora, a Pacific Seacraft and Teri from Captain Kidd, a small motor cat, were interested in coming with us. We found enough bikes to ride over. It was a short trip without the meanderings of yesterday. Mitzi was our tour guide and took

We had some more exploration of the marina grounds and were particularly interested in a school and research facility on the northern end of the property. We wanted to check it out and see if we could schedule a tour. It was not far by the road but we passed several lagoons on the way
