A sailor’s got to watch her step this morning. There’s a skin of frost on the pier at Kilkenny Marina, meaning there’s time for another cup of Joe before shoving off. Give the sun some time to warm things a bit.
Warmth is relative. It’s 42F when Steadfast eases off the pier at 0835. The 10 knot breeze from the northwest is not really needed for additional cooling tho’ it does help push Steadfast along downstream.
It’s high tide on Old Teakettle Creek.
The day proceeds without incident, a good day on the water, in other words. Across St. Catherine’s Sound, then Sapelo Sound with lots of marshlands before, between and after.
Six hours later, Steadfast sits amid miles and miles of marsh, anchored up New Teakettle Creek. (If you’re checking your NOAA chart, that’s about two miles up from Old Teakettle Creek.)
No heat on board tonight so lights out will come early. Tomorrow it’s hoped Steadfast will make the forty-or-so miles down the waterway to Jeckyll Island and be in Florida waters by the first of the week.
Steadfast out.
