All Systems Go

The crew aboard Close to Home decided to take an extra day at the Municipal Marina in Beaufort last week and were schedule to head out Thursday November 26. The Marina was making them very welcome including a car to use when needed for trips uptown for shopping.

Dad and Aubrey payed a visit to West Marine for boat "stuff" and proceeded to spend some time marking the 110' of anchor chain and 120' of anchor rode.  Aubrey shared one of his own cruising tips with Dad and they put it into action.  Apparently biased binding tape makes great anchor rode marking tape.

The crew were expected to leave Beaufort Thursday morning and spend 5 days ~ travelling and anchoring ~ to get to Charleston, South Carolina.  Aubrey and Judy will be heading back to their motor home at this point and hopefully the weather will be warm.
