done

The sail is over. SPARTINA is at a dock at a tiny marina on the Georgia coast. I'll get an Amtrak back up to Charleston to get the jeep and trailer. Checking the ICW mile markers I covered 180 statue miles of the planned 300. Not bad for six days on the water. A friend was telling me, using some colorful language, what a raw deal the broken mizzen mast was. I said no, it's just part of the adventure.
Photo is from about an hour and a half before the mast broke. Sailing downhill on the waves of Sapelo Sound the gps hit 8.3 kts. Yes, it was all an adventure.
