Beam Reach Sail - 10 Knots SOG - Charter Guests - Charleston to Savannah - EP39
Perfect Winds, Sunshine & Great Company made for a great 10 hour day sailing an average of 10 knots SOG from Bohicket Marina in Johns Island-Charleston to Bull River Marina in Savannah on Thanksgiving Holiday 2019.
WATCH a bit of coastal cruising for our Thanksgiving sail from Charleston down to Savannah. We averaged 10 knots for about 80 miles with a beam reach for most of the way.
We welcomed 2 charter guests, who wanted to try their skills out on sailing a catamaran. They had already taken courses through the American Sailing Association and did a great job trimming the sails!
Stephen’s brother Ed joined us as well. Thanksgiving dinner was a turkey pot pie and pumpkin pie (made in advance of course).
That evening we were treated to 4 celestial objects during our early evening stargazing – Pluto, Venus, Saturn & Moon.
Hope you enjoy! Let us know your comments.
