I see you are coming up the canal. Any chance you might be headed for the St. Lawrence? - Mike http://theshipwatcher.blogspot.com

Hello Ruth and Mark
Congratulations on your progress, despite the setbacks. You're doing great and a civilized Kingston summer seems just around the corner for you two. Fair winds.

slow going
We have been watching the blog daily to see how far you made it. The weather on the eastern seaboard has been crap for sailing north. We have seen several come into Cape Marine after surviving a squall out on the open ocean. Two of these boats are over 50ft and are unable to do the ICW. It is such a waiting game. We are doing well with our projects and hope to leave the last week of June. Best of luck, always in our thoughts SV Joana

Waccamaw well worth the trip
Glad you enjoyed the Waccamaw. Meredith certainly did. Sorry to hear you had to cut in to Charleston - so much westing to no good effect. Will you go outside at Norfold and direct to New York or are you heading up the Chesapeake. If the Chesapeake you may burn a lot of fuel as the wind sort of dies over the summer. Whatever you do enjoy the trip. bob and connie

Alligators in the Haulover Canal!
Hi Ruth and Mark. Sorry we missed them but not going back to check. Saw one huge manatee only. Wonder how they cohabit? You must be a good piece further by now. We're taking things very slowly and smelling the gardenias. LOL Fair winds.

hatchet bay
Interesting reading. I was there before floyd. We used to have potluck parties at the marina run by madame Bell. It used to be called a safe hurricane hole until every boat but one was wiped out. 200 kn winds and a low with embedded tornadoes sucked the water out of the gap. Then it came back with a vengeance. Some locals looked for grandpa's remains which were unearthed in the cemetery and scattered around. The people survived by taking refuge in the churches. Attempts to revive the marina all failed. It is still one of my favourite stopovers on the way to Georgetown. It's a place where you can get away from the tourists and actually sit down with the locals. Happy sailing. I'll cross from Lake Worth pretty soon.

good to hear they arrived
Hey Mark and Ruth: Good to hear Zoe and Maggie are there safe and sound. Thank you for your hospitality. Here's hoping you have a great adventure with them. We are looking forward to hearing all about the goings on on Witchcraft. Checked out your blog and am waiting patiently for the next entries. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you. Heavy rain here today on top of cold and snow. A real yuck day. Good thing there is lots of leftovers in the fridge to keep us occupied. Would not want to venture out in this mess. Wish we were there. Happy sailing to you. Chris and Deb

Cheers!
Sorry I didn't comment here sooner. Have been following your accounts religiously.Afterall, I might be retracing your path back north. Give me a heads up if you come in to Largo Sound. There ar some depth issues in here. A better option for you is the adjacent Blackwater Sound. Let me know. Lorne on the "Pig's 'Ere."
