The boat was launched on Tuesday, May 5th, Cinco di Mayo. On Wednesday, Brooks, our Yanmar mechanic did his final magic touches and we went out for our sea trial. All went well! We were good to go, but had much to do before setting out, including paying the bill, ugh! Today Sue and Mike let us borrow their car again, and we did our final provisioning. We had a BBQ scheduled with them and their boys for dinner, so Michele made some teryaki chicken, sausage and kabobs along with corn on the cob. We had a great time at our farwell/thank you dinner.
Tomorrow morning, at high tide around 8:30 - 9:00 a.m. we will cut the lines and head out. We plan to head up the ICW for about 10 miles to Port Royal Inlet. We will head N/NE until we feel like stopping. At the minimum we will go as far as Bogue Inlet, Morehead City, NC, but would really like to make it up to Chesapeake Bay. If we have Internet we'll keep our position updated. We may be offshore for at least two nights. We'll keep you posted.
