Hello Charleston

We left Saint Augustine at 8 am Sat June 2nd. Had a two day nice weather window. Motored for the first few hrs then motored sailed, got surprised by 23 knts in the middle of the night, made for a exciting night. We averaged 7.5 knots, we did 225 miles in 31 hrs. Arrived at 230pm on Sunday. Washed the boat and took a water taxi for old charleston and had a gear low country meal at pookies porch. Next day we did the ft Sumtner tour and the Yorktown aircraft carrier that's parked next to our marina. Hope to leave here after 3 days of bad weather, thursday should be our departure day.
