Finally a nice day off-shore. We woke to clear skies, but cold temperatures once again. We pulled out of St Augustine at 6:50 this morning. The near shore forecast was very good with seas 2 to 3 feet, but the further off shore we went, the seas were supposed to be up to 6 feet.
Once we pulled out of the inlet we were welcomed to flat calm seas. We hugged the coast; first up to the St John's River near Jacksonville, and then on to the St Mary's River at the GA/FL boarder. The seas were about 1 foot. At that point we made a direct line to Charleston.
We are very glad we did. The seas all day were 1 to 2 feet and the wind swung around from the northwest to the south which gave us a really comfortable ride.
We pulled into the Mega Docks at the Charleston City Marina today around 4:30pm after 9 and half hours and 231 miles. Believe it or not, it was the most relaxing day we have had on the trip so far.
We didn't have time to do much of anything once we got in. We fueled up and I gave the boat a quick rinse before it got dark. They we ran out to dinner. We expect another early day as we try to run to Beaufort, NC tomorrow.
