Thunderbolt to Hilton Head

Let's see, between the Bahamas and Hilton Head, we've replaced the starter battery (Port Canaveral) and the starter relay (Fernandina Beach), had the alternator rebuilt with a new voltage regulator (Hinckley Yacht Services, Thunderbolt), and installed a new digital echo charger for the starter battery (also at Hinckley).  We hope we're good to go for a LONG time now!  Enough electrical schmetrical!

We timed today's trip so that we crossed Fields Cut and Wall Cut at high tide.  Both are just north of the Savannah River and we made it through just fine.

Traffic on the Savannah River

We "made circles" in Elba Island Cut to allow three freighters to pass before we crossed the river.

HELLO, South Carolina!

:)

So tiny!

Short trip up to Hilton Head today (25 nm).  If the weather is favorable tomorrow, we'll jump out to the ocean and run up to Charleston.
Epic fail for me......I didn't take a single picture when we hung out with David's cousin and her family on Tuesday night.  DRAT!  We had a fun time visiting with Debbie, Harry, and Nickie, and enjoyed some tasty Mexican food at Tequila Town in Savannah.  I *will* take photos the next time we roll through!
