Home!

June 11- 14, 2014

The good times weren't over yet as we started the last leg of the trip home.  We stopped in Charleston, SC and spent the night with the Warrs. It was Randy's first night on land in a real bed in months. As always, Cate and McLaine entertained us and we had a great dinner with Emily and Phillip. Then it was on to Myrtle Beach where we picked up another crew member, Sue Sisson.  Sue is one of my DZ sorority sisters from years ago.  She is an experienced sailor so was a good addition to our crew.  We spent the night in Wilmington and made it back home on June 14th after traveling 1,750 miles and 116 days. We were met by Doug and Linda Fletcher and Lynn Brown who brought a bottle of champagne to toast our homecoming.  Now looking forward to being on dry land for awhile with plenty of day trips with friends and family this summer...as well as planning our next nautical adventure!

Zac Brown's song, Knee Deep, sums it up perfectly:

"Wishing I was knee deep in the water somewhere

Got the blue sky breeze and it don't seem fair

Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair

Sunrise there's a fire in the sky

Never been so happy

Never felt so high

And think I might have found my own kind of paradise"

Sue at the helm.  She said the trip down the ICW was the dream of a lifetime.
We agree!

After 116 days, the Atlantic Beach Bridge in sight!

Home Sweet Home!
