This is where I woke up this morning: Coffee Bluff, GA
We won't be back to the Savannah city docks; a tug boat waked us hard enough to yank a cleat and its backing plate right through the side of the boat, leaving us with a massive repair to handle. Made progress down the ICW.
This is where I woke up this morning: Savannah, GA
Punching current down the ICW most of the day, a little more than usual thanks to the king tides. Tied up in Savannah at sunset, had a quick dinner and crashed. Just passing through this time.

What a great place to spend a big chunk of the summer. It almost feels like home. And leaving it carries that same mix of excitement and melancholy. But we chose to live by the seasons and as they move so must we. Onward!
Computer failures and not enough solar can slow us down, but not stop us! Here, at last, is part 2:

Approximately one year ago to the minute, we cast off the lines and pointed our bow toward adventure.
It's been slow lately, but another New Beginnings starts soon. Thanks for following along and for being patient.
We're working on a blog post about our first year at sea.
This is where I woke up this morning: (In the vicinity of) Cleveland, Ohio
Busy weekend with lots of meetups that culminated in a night at the ballpark thanks to a friend. Drinks were shared, fun was had, but now it's back to the grind.
This is where I woke up this morning: Recovering from this
Quiet birthday at home with a gigantic cheese/charcuterie board for "dinner". Not pictured: The first course, Renee's homemade carrot cake. #Adulting

Started work early to get to the yacht club for race night. Davey graciously let us crew on Seneca. We chatted about adventures. (He rowed across the Atlantic!)
This is where I woke up this morning: The Land House
Quiet day. Did the day job, then made some "Carolina Gold" barbecue sauce correctly this time with access to a better-stocked galley. Combined with Sam's pulled pork: A++

Got a rental car, packed up the boat and cat, drove 12 hours. Recovered Saturday, met with friends Sunday, had a small BBQ for Labor Day.
This is where I woke up, er yesterday: Lady's Island, SC
Moved the boat to a marina, after fighting with the motor and getting it running just in the nick of time to make the bridge opening at high tide.

Another nice day with little going on. Harvested 4kwh of solar. Day job + dinner ashore.
This is where I woke up this morning: Beaufort, SC
After work, went to shore to meet new friends. Lovely chat with dinner and drinks. Put in 4.5kwh of solar, getting batteries back to a healthy charge.
This is where I woke up this morning: Beaufort, SC
Enough solar yesterday to work and heat leftovers but not much more. Quiet evening aboard.

Plan was Charleston, then a less expensive marina to leave the boat a bit; couldn't get a reservation. Then plan was Savannah followed by St. Simons; but weather stopped that. Found a nearby alternative, so we'll stay a while.
This is where I woke up this morning: Beaufort, SC
Sorry, not sorry. This is just one of the best anchorages we've had stateside. Everything we need in proximity. Solar has been solid. We may never leave; tho full disclosure: partly because of crazy fast barnacle growth.
This is where I woke up this morning: Beaufort, SC
Day job while sweltering, then a cockpit shower and a ride to shore. Intended to eat at Plums, but it was closed. Got excellent barbecue at Q on Bay instead.

Worked the computer through the heat, then a quick shower and over to town to indulge in some A/C. La Napolera is a typical local cantina; solid, tasty food for reasonable $$. Then to Old Bull Tavern for great craft cocktails.
