The time to leave Florida had arrived so Paul and the kids left the marina late afternoon on Sat, Oct. 20. I, sadly, didn't get to sail with them because I had to drive the car up to Georgia. I stayed with a friend that night and drove up the next morning since it is only a two hour drive. Paul and the kids sailed all night and arrived to St. Simon's Island late Sunday morning. I was so proud of them! They sailed 17 hours straight-through the night. They rotated night watches (Paul and Lucy together, then Jack and Emily) every three hours. I feel kind of jealous. I think it sounds pretty amazing (and a little scary to be honest) to be out in the ocean in the middle of the night. They took lots of awesome pictures as they watched the sun set. They also saw a huge manta ray jumping out of the water a few times and I was a little jealous again. Who knew manta rays jumped out of the water?
Yikes. living on the edge
It's getting darker...
and darker...
pretty moon
They hung out in the cockpit most of the time and even splept a lot of the time there. They said it got pretty cold. How cute and cuddly is this?
This is our new spot in Georgia. St. Simons Island, GA (just a few minutes from Brunswick). This is the Golden Isles Marina. It is really pretty here. Look closely and you can see the gang at the BBQ pavillion. We had a yummy little BBQ picnic. Challenge for the day: can you pick out our catamaran in the picture? Yes, it is very hard to see but is possible. :)
