Calm Seas and Sunshine – The Good

  • Two days filled with lots of walking and looking in beautiful city filed with historical squares and moss filled live oaks!
  • Bailey just walking on Three Sons looking for a cookie.

Strong Winds and Rough Currents – The Bad

  • An unorganized dockmaster – Three Sons and the crew had to stand down outside the dock while boats while a spot was found. No such luck so, we were told to dock at the fuel dock and had to move about an hour later into a slip.
