who else is southbound this fall? I'm about to leave Nantucket with the 70' Johnson I run. Have a couple of stops to make before leaving the Long Island Sound area, will probably head down the Jersey coast late next week and go thru the Chesie the week after. our new insurance policy allows...

i'm guessing this guy has a lot of experience, yet he found rocks at a well charted cut. A good reminder not to take things for granted and not to let your guard down. I've been thru woods hole many times, but when i passed thru yesterday I was extra careful...

after sailing today, Naomi went for lunch with her daughters at a nearby restaurant here in the Grove... Noticed a service van from a fairly well know local marine Air Con company outside and ends up at a table next to 2 guys wearing "----- Air" shirts... At some point one of the guys gets on...

took these two pictures an hour ago, in the Coosaw River, just north of Beaufort SC. This guy still has a while to wait since it was 2 hours before low tide! I could see him at the helm, patiently waiting...
