It rained last night from about midnight until about 10:30 this morning. It was cloudy, overcast - we just weren't feeling the conditions for sailing today, so we stayed at our anchorage near Daufuskie Island. We just watched tv and read some. Just took it easy. I made a nice lunch. I read some more and Daniel went to take a nap. BIG MISTAKE. That gave him time to "think". I was napping in the warm cockpit (the sun came out) minding my own business when Daniel comes out and says, the winds are perfect - we should pull anchor and do an "all nighter" and be in Jacksonville, Florida by noon tomorrow. I think my mouth fell open - I know it did.
I think it is a "man" thing to want to do the all night sailing thing. For me, it's a little scary. I don't see well at night so we will see how it goes. I texted our 3 sons to let them know our plans and Matt's response was "awesome"; Brian's response was "sounds fun, be careful" and Justin's response was to FaceTime me immediately so he could get all of the exciting details. He's jealous, he said. My response: ALL NIGHT, in the ATLANTIC OCEAN?? It's going to be a long night!

Well, I do remember when you lived in Texas, you guys would pull an all-nighter driving back to Alabama. I guess it's in Daniel's blood! I also remember a time coming back to Texas, "someone" took a wrong turn and wasn't going to make it to work the next day … Hope Daniel's doing the driving! :)
