May 18-19, 2010
Charlie decided we would sail all night from St. Augustine so we would arrive in Beaufort the next morning, It was a pretty sunny day, but there was almost no wind. We put up the sails to get them dry, so we were motor sailing. We were still making over 6 knots. There was no traffic until dusk. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset. By night the wind had picked up to 10-12. It was a starry night with a sliver of moon. Radar help to identify the few boats we encountered overnight. After midnight we had winds up to 15-18kts. We arrived at the Port Royal entrance just before 8a.m. and arrived at the Port Royal Landing Marina by 10:15 a.m. Charlie and I take 3 hour watches when we are sailing all night. We enjoyed a relaxing quiet day reading and sleeping. We had dinner with our friend Marianne Mikell who lived on Cat IS. Tomorrow we head back to Charleston and home.
