Balance of Day 2


We made it to Hilton Head Island to meet my friend (and attorney) Andrea for lunch.  She came with wonderful gifts for our boat, one of which was a tray to carry things on and I have already used it for our dinner tonight.  The coffee cups will be used in the morning!  Thanks so much, Andrea!!


When we arrived at the place to meet Andrea, the water was so low that a local boater came out and guided us in through the sandbar area.  That's call real southern hospitality!  We had a wonderful lunch together and we ended lunch with a tour of the boat for Andrea.  She loved it.  We said our sad goodbyes and untied ourselves from the dock, to head to our place for the night.  We are anchored right off of Daufuskie Island, South Carolina.  I cooked some soup and grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner.  I loaded them up on our new tray and we ate in the cockpit.  Daniel had some nice jazz music on the stereo and we ate, watching dolphins all around us.  Really awesome!  We can see Savannah's lights in the distance, too.  We're expecting rain at midnight tonight going through 8 am in the morning, so not sure if we will stay right where we are or move further south.  Just depends on the weather.  On the upside, we checked and we have 10 tv channels tonight!  Last night we had 1 and it had a kid's movie on it and on top of that, it faded in and out.  It was an early night last night.  Tonight, we might actually stay up past 9!

    1. 44 nm means 44 nautical miles. 1 nm = 1.15 miles. Here's a website that explains in further detail if you wish: http://www.onlineconversion.com/faq_07.htm
