Here we go...

Only 34 degrees in CT on 11/3/11. We cast off the lines to our great adventure at 8:00. Got gas and pumped out (usual cruising stuff).  Darn it is cold in November in New England.  Next day we went through NYC and saw the Statue of Liberty. Next was Sandy Hook then Barneget Bay. Off the Cape May and Utches Marina.  Nice place and very nice and friendly people.  Too bad Ocean City was closed.  On 11/8/11 we went by Chincategue and did spot some ponies.  Next was finally Tidewater Marina.  I took a nice long shower.  Then some power went our so no laundry was done.  This is where we met the gentleman on a catamaran called "Sunflower".  After a few bridges we were in Coinjock, NC.  Nice place and great food.  Next was though the Alligator River, then to the Albermarle Sound.  Here we lost 2 fenders and our jib ripped.  Such as sailing.  Next stop was Oriental Marina for two days.  Here we replaced our fenders.  Now it is 11/14.  The Captain noticed a problem with the oil pressure so we stopped in Beufort.  After oil change we were on to through Cape Fear to Mrytle Beach.  Going through we did see a twister behind us in S. C. on the ICW around Holden Beach area.  Next stop was Georgetown and then Charlseton.  This is were we parted with Captain George.
