Steady Progress

We are making steady progress south. It has been cold and windy every day. We are selecting anchorage destinations that will accommodate Windsong which has almost a 6' draft so this pretty much dictates our daily distance. The changes are amazing as we work our way along. Some nights we are anchored in very remote areas dark enough to see the Milky Way very clearly, and other nights we will be anchored in residential neighborhoods. We are now seeing dolphins each day which is pretty exciting for us. As a group we are doing well together and we will probably stay together until about the Georgia - Florida border. Windsong needs to hold up in Brunswick; Jocks Lodge is destined for the St. Marys River for a cruisers Thanksgiving get together and we are going to Jacksonville. We get together every day after we get settled on our anchors, alternating between boats or going out to dinner. Windsong ran aground hard today on a falling tide. Luckily Tow Boat US responded in less than 10 minutes and we were on our way again very quickly. We heard Its About Time on the radio so we hailed them. They were anchored in Beaufort getting ready for on offshore passage down to the St. Marys river.
