Saturday - January 16, 2010 Rainy, Hi 65 Lo 51
Lat/Lon 31 9.0 N,81 29.5 W
It's raining pretty good, so we’ll be staying inside most of the day today. Might do some computer work, research, more organizing maybe. Might get together later with Glen and Pam to drink some wine and play a wild and crazy game of scrabble. Met another cool cruising couple, Mike and Lindsay. They may come by too.
Yesterday, 1-15-10
It was sunny and beautiful all day. Sid went around and greased and oiled all the rigging, and gave the deck a quick rinse, and then we took Quest out for a spin. Everything went well and worked great! We motored out of the marina, and into the large Brunswick River waterway.
We set all 3 sails, the main, the headsail and the staysail. She looked beautiful, like a lovely young lady all dressed up for the prom! And MAN can this girl move! The breeze was really light, but Quest danced along effortlessly at 7 knots, swinging her skirts with glee. (Ok, maybe that was ME out on deck, squealing with glee….)

Her sails are all outlined in the same forest green as the canvas over the cockpit, it's very pretty when they're up, but I couldn't get a good picture of the colors without getting REALLY wet! LOL! Maybe tomorrow, if I sit out in the dingy as Sid sails past, I can get a good picture. We'll give it a try if the weather is decent.
We had a small pod of bottlenose dolphins follow us for a brief while. I tried to get a picture, but all I ended up with were several photos of water… *sigh*
The water here is incredibly shallow. If you stray even a few feet off course, you can run aground really easily.
