120 miles to see our buddies!!!

Hilton Head is our meeting spot. We are meeting at a marina our friends have been at for over a week. We have not seen them for the last couple months so it will be really special to travel this section of our Loop with them.

We traveled a little over 120 miles on the outside (Atlantic Ocean) and had a great wavy ride for 9 hours. I can not explain the happiness having stabilizers has made us. Typically, a beam sea (waves that are running at a right angle to the boat) would be conditions we would not enjoy and avoid if I had my say. We now welcome a beam sea (not really) but at least I have not been getting sick like I did on our old Grand Banks.

This beautiful view helps me get over having to get up early!
Came across several cargo ships anchored out, waiting to make their deliveries. 
Traveling this speed for a bit of our trip helped us make 123 miles in 9 hours.
We surprised our friends when we showed up, we had them believing the winds kept us in Georgia another day. Hehehe!

No sooner did we get all settled-in, we were at dinner enjoying each other.

Two days in Hilton Head then off to Charleston!!

Bob and Liz (Knot Sew Easy) and Kevin and Jill (Chasing 80)
Yay! Back together! 
Jammin Jane docked next to Knot Sew Easy and Chasing 80 is the last boat on the right.
Dinghy ride to meet Kevin and Jill at the Charter house 
We sat here waiting for Kevin and Jill, who rode their bikes, for over an hour. Finally, we realized we were at the wrong place! OOOOPS!  

Enjoying a beautiful late afternoon, and we finally met up with Kevin and Jill!!
