April 25, 2018 – Thunderbolt, Georgia

Left just after dawn this morning and hit Hell Gate at mid-tide about 8am. Never saw less than 10’ (need 4.5) so it was rather a non-event. Arrived here about 11 and am waiting for friend Chris McDonnell to arrive so we can do some outside sailing over the next 5 days. Chris will fly home to St Pete’s from Wilmington NC. I then have 6 days to get to Norfolk to meet Peter Cohrs with one day in reserve for whatevers and laundry.
