We pulled into Charleston on November 3rd with the intention of staying for 2 nights. It's now some 10 weeks later.
The cold kept us from going last week. It was a frigid week all over the country. We're just now coming out of the ice cold weather. The coastal and offshore marine forecasts are glorious for the next few days. This is giving us a great opportunity to take off, and take off fast.
We've prepared everything for going to Fernandina Beach overnight and then continuing on for a second night to Ft. Pierce. Upon entering the inlet, we're thinking about turning right and making a short trip up the Intracoastal Waterway to Vero Beach. We have a history at Vero and we need to do a reset and start over there. It's a long story.
We'll miss Charleston. We've gotten soft with a high-end grocery store, hardware stores, incredible restaurants, dog parks, and normal routine. The view from our pilothouse is just breathtaking - and today it shows the calming, beautiful weather approaching. This is a fantastic city and we'll keep coming back. But there are other towns to explore and other challenges to meet. Besides, the kids were promised some ocean swimming off some sandy beaches.

Safe travels! Hope to see you down here somewhere.....
Good luck on your overnight voyage. A video of your morning (sunrise) would be interesting.
