Hilton Head Island

Saturday, Nov.10

It was great to spend time with Jerry and Debby Caldwell here as we were able to
connect with them while they were in town. We spent our first night off the boat since
leaving Madison and slept well although the bed didn't rock at all like we are used to.
After a great breakfast out in their outdoor room we headed back to the boat and
made the 10 mile trip to Harbortown Marina. After so many years looking at other
peoples' boats in the harbor it was a joy to be experiencing things from the other
side. There was live music being performed all afternoon by a group under The
Century Tree, a landmark here at Harbortown. On our trip here, out in Calibugue
Sound we saw lots of dolphins. This is a prime area for them.
It was sunny and 70 degrees here today, a welcome respite from the unseasonable
cold we've been experiencing.
These short days are shrinking our usable day so we plan on leaving pretty early
as we head into Georgia, a state with 8 -9' tides and many shallow spots in the
Waterway.

Docked in Harbortown next to the famous lighthouse.

 

We are one of the sailboats to the left and that is

the #18 green from Harbortown Golf Course,

home of the Heritage Golf Tournament.
