Above is the track from the winter sail. A good and, at times, challenging sail. Twenty days on the water. I would describe the first week as good sailing and a little chilly. Second week was excellent sailing and more comfortable temperatures. The third week included the coldest and strongest winds. Gusts to 35 and early morning temperatures down to 31 degrees.
Above is a favorite stretch, south from just above Isle of Hope through the Florida Passage (though not yet close to Florida) and then across St. Catherines Sound to a nice anchorage on Walburg Creek.
And here is a good challenging day sailing on Altamaha Sound (upper portion of the image) against the ebb tide and west wind so lots of tacking. And then south on Buttermilk Sound (lower left of image) with, yes, some more tacking but less running tide (don't recall the details offhand, will have to look at my notes).
Hope to post the daily logs beginning in a few days.
