Watch out for the submarines ;-) |

Passing north of Jekyll Island right now heading "outside". |

Passing north of Jekyll Island right now heading "outside". If he makes Savannah then Hilton Head should be do-able as well. Plenty of good eats there as well, and less crime. Savannah can be a little "funky" at night. |

Passing north of Jekyll Island right now heading "outside". === Sorry but you're just not keeping up. We ducked back inside late in the afternoon to position ourselves for tomorrow. We're having a problem with the hydraulic stabilizer system so I'm going to stop at a shipyard south of Savanna to see if they can work on it. We can run outside without stabilizers when it's calm like today but not so much when the wind's blowing. As an FYI, the Georgia coast, ICW and barrier islands are incredibly scenic. I have been on the road. I was on (Yuk) Del Prado today, going up to buy an oven for my country kitchen project on the lanai and I also got lucky and scored a piece of granite to replace that nasty quartz crap I put on the new bar top. Last time I looked you were just starting to make the turn to go inside north of St Catherines but I see you are up at the mouth of Kilkenny creek now. No BBQ for you I guess ;-) === No, not tonight. We eat well on the boat however. |

Nothing like one that was swimming a few minutes before it hits the pan. That's fresh fish. Mars is looking good this month. I think this is it's closest approach for a while. It is about the brightest thing in the southern sky but the color makes it unmistakable. |

You get a nice boost in speed, save quite a few miles, all of which saves a bunch of fuel. You're underway for two straight nights however and that gets tiring with just the two of us standing watches. As it turned out with our stabilizer issue, it's fortunate that we didn't do that anyway. Running the stream exposes you to some fairly gnarly sea conditions even in relatively calm weather. Port and starboard watches are always tough. We only had 2 duty sections on the smaller CG cutters but I was not standing deck watches. They pretty much left us cannon cockers alone. Later on the reserve cruises, everyone stood deck watches if they were not snipes so I got some of that 0000-0600 helm time. Three section is easier, you need another mate. |

No BBQ for you I guess ;-) Gosh, what a propitious moment. We have Wilsonart Solid Surface Veneer in our kitchen that is past the 25 year mark and has a couple cracks. Thinking of replacing it. Consumer Reports seems to like the quartz over the granite for countertops. Why are you so down on quartz? -- Ban Krausescheiße-spouting narcissists...not guns! |
