Leaving Beaufort - January 12, 2009

Beaufort offers much to transients; in fact, quite a few boats winter over here. We've met great people, but we're ready to move on. We have a new batten in our main, a new starter battery, made several other repairs, and adjusted/changed lines. We're ready to go, but we'll be without our new staysail until Florida.

We are buddy boating with Bryn and Scott on Arganauta and Tom on Slocum. Tom will stop in Charleston; we might, but if the weather stays with us and all goes well, we'll keep sailing south. Two boats left yesterday, one stopping at Charleston, the other sailing to Key Biscaine.

So, we say goodbye to this busy little seaport town, all our new friends, the porpoises, pelicans, and wild ponies (on an island across from the waterfront) and hello to more southern waters.
