Sunbury GA

Note, 1st aligator sighting of the trip.. right at the Bahia Blue Marina (sorry no pictures)…. We did keep a close eye on Cooper (who had once the same day escaped from the boat and was brought back to us by one of the dock hands).  We left just after 9, headed to one of our favorite, off the beaten path spots… Sunbury GA, home of the Sunbury Crab Company Restaurant.  I think this is my 5 time here… always good.  Nice run, went through a shallow cut named “Hell Gate”… no issues as we again timed our passage to miss low tide.  Headed to Sunbury, we did find (saw in advance and adjusted course) uncharted sandbar… in the Medway/Sunbury Creek area… one of the challenges of going to off the beaten path spots is that… the charts can be outdated.  We’ll make a note of this for future reference…. And stay toward the deeper water  farther west/south.  Here is today’s Track

2025 STARTS HERE: Preparations for 2025 Steadfast Goes South

Image
We’ve been making a list and checking it twice (actually many times) food, clothes, supplies, etc.  Maintenance is complete and all systems are a go!  In the off season (early winter) Steadfast has been freshly detailed, has new upholstery, a new table, and new carpet… she’s looking great!  Plan is to leave at 1st light on Wednesday January 8.  This morning, it is 23 degrees in Dville, skim ice on the cove… depending on the weather between now and Wednesday… we might need an ice breaker!

On to Morehead City

 We left at 6:45, much nicer day than Saturday (glad we stayed put on Saturday).  Smooth travels, even saw our first Porpoises of the trip…expect more to come.  The wind built through the day to about 20kts, but we were in well protected waters, and very comfortable.  Arrived Morehead City Yacht Basin at 3:00.  Laundry, and dinner on the boat.  Here is our track from today:   Track

Southport, NC… last stop in NC

Image
 Nice stay in Wrightsville Beach where we saw our 1st Spanish Moss of the trip… in spite of the cold temps… we ARE working our way SOUTH!  Today was a nice short run… left at 10 after a nice walk and a good bagel/coffee stop.  We cruised slow (efficient) and arrived at 1:30.  This is our 1st Safe Harbor marina of the trip (means FREE since we are “members”).  We’re staying here 2 nights.  Leigh will be joing us this evening, and staying through sometime on Monday… so she’ll travel with us to Myrtle Beach, and maybe even Georgetown.  Here it today’s  Track
