We are in Georgetown, SC and took a slip for some R&R from our long voyage. They have free wireless here so took the opportunity to say hi. We're at mile  marker 403, which puts us at approx 2/3 the distance to Norfolk. Should be there in 2-3 weeks.  Ken

 

PS  Ken turns 65 tomorrow.  He's old!!!!

Hi Spence, Four days later and we are still holed up in Hampton, VA. We left the marina today after lots of $ and anchored in the tiny Hampton harbor and voila free wireless internet so thought I would send you a note. We finally have a possible window for tomorrow, 10 to 15 from the NW. If it really pans out to be NW, we'll be underway in the am. Sorry we were unable to get you aboard but hopefully we will connect up with you guys sometime this summer.

Hi Spence; We finally made it and took slip at South Jersey Marina (they have free wireless!) Made the 150 mile trip in 24 hours, arriving here 7 am  Thurs morning. Had a small leak from the raw water pump on the engine which I thought could wait until  RI for repair, but it had developed into a much larger leak when we got here so had to hold up f or a replacement pump. Had one shipped up from Portsmouth, VA, which is where we had just come from, and just completed the installation, so we are now good to go after 4 days at the marina, the loss of many $ and the Chinese left handed monkey exercise in the engine room! See what you missed!
