Daily post

Today we continued motoring up the ICW, mostly Christine doing the driving and Mark driving his keyboard beavering away at programming dams.

We crossed St Cathrine's Sound Georgia and got quite wet.  Winds and seas were off the beam which makes for a wet ride.  Good thing we put on the side panels to the dodger which helped.  Unfortunately our herb garden hanging on the bimini got a good salt water soaking which had predictable results.
Quick eat the lettuce before it wilts in the salt spray!

We ended our day at Redbird Creek just South of Savannah.  We hope to get there tomorrow.  Just before we anchored we passed another sailboat with sails up in the narrow ICW.  I thought that was pretty seaworthy.  I called him on the radio and it turns out his engine is underpowered and having sails up was the only way to make progress against tide and wind.  You gotta do what you gotta do!
