Weekend trip report

Corps of Engineers station:


Bennett's Point, a welcome sight to soak up some warmth from the sun and get out of the wind:




Giving our friend some relatively flat water in the Coosaw River:




View to port of the effect of the V-20 bow flare:


(It's a wonderful thing!)

Almost home


It was (for us) an epic journey, hopefully to be repeated many times, but hopefully under nicer conditions.

I was very pleased with the PD's performance. After the first leg I refueled her, topping off with 27.5 gallons. We burned approximately 5.5 gallons per hour, or 3.4 mpg, averaging around 30 mph. I haven't refueled since the return leg, but I suspect it will be about the same or better, as the gauge shows more fuel than it did before the first refuel. I think that's pretty good!

next time you come up, check on the maritine center, its cheap, and right near the aquarium. I'd call first to make sure there is a slip. the only thing you have to watch is if the wind is coming out of the east, it can make it a little bumpy there
