WFN......Spectacular....

We arrive in Little River SC, greeted by record setting heat but hey..... We're here. An overnight sail in which we had to slow way down in order to arrive in Little River at sunup this morning. One thing that is needed to be in every sailors bag of tricks is knowing how and when to slow down. We realized around 1600 yesterday as we were off Georgetown SC that the predicted tstorms would not materialize thus the safe harbor would not be needed.....great but now we were way ahead of a sunup arrival in Little River. Ok.....now we have to slowdown which was actually wonderful. We overtrimmed sails, headed higher than needed and sailed a greater distance all to accomplish a major slow down.  The overnight was stress free other than seeing how slow we could make the boat go. Packed with stars, perfect wind direction, a 0345 moon rise on my watch...:-))))., and just plain great end to this leg of our journey. No tstorms! We head in this morning accompanied by this sunrise. Now.....at the dock.:-(((((, we head to Lowes to get a portable AC to deal with the upcoming early heat wave. We are blessed to be here safe and sound and looking forward to the next leg.....whata f.... night. Yes it was a spectacular run from Charlsteon.
