Steady Progress

We are making steady progress south. It has been cold and windy every day. We are selecting anchorage destinations that can accommodate Windsong, which has an almostWindsong, 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, where the Milky Way is visible very clearly, and other nights we are 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 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 cruiser's Thanksgiving get together, and we are going to Jacksonville. We get together every day after we settle into our anchors, alternating between the 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. We heard " It's About Time on the radio, so we hailed them. They were anchored in Beaufort, getting ready for an offshore passage down to the St. Marys River.
