Day Six-Continued-Thunderbolt, Ga.

TOYS Enjoying Sunset over Thunderbolt, GA
We arrived in Thunderbolt, Ga about 3:30 this afternoon.   It was a slow going day with lots of development along the intracoastal which keeps speeds down to 10kts or less with lots of no wake (aka no waves) zones.  We did cover about 90 miles or so.   Tomorrow we will venture out into the Atlantic and hopefully come ashore close to Florida.  Winds today were really strong even in the shelter of the ditch. 

We lowered the outriggers this morning so we could pass under the bridges of at least 30' without an opening.  That worked well.   We will put them back into place before going offshore tomorrow. 

It has been very cold during the day and at night in the 20's.   But the sun has been strong and it helps keep the bridge toasty.   Kelly and I switched off driving and navigating today and she has done well with both.   We make a good team.

More to follow from the crew,

Capt David
