I've been making my way north for a couple weeks; made it to Georgetown, SC. I thought I would set up a topic to share my posts. Here is one to catch you up from the "Overdue Update" thread.
An evolving plan and a wild Florida Thundersquall.

A couple pictures above and another blog post just went live. It's a bit long but loaded with thrills and chills.
I was a little too casual in planning a trip from Washington to Oriental, NC. Slightly embarassing, but I'd rather learn the lesson in and around the ICW than offshore.
A Little Dinghy ... (https://www.bubbathepirate.com/2023/10/a-little-dinghy.html)

Enjoyed your Oriental stories.
Did you ever run into Annie at the Bean?
A fiesty 78 year old?

Probably. Annie rings a bell. I talked to a bunch of people there; staff and fellow customers.
Annie solo's the Atlantic at 56yrs old. (Years ago)
Met Nev over there. Together they built a 46ft Wharram Cat
I think they ended up with 6 or 7 trans Atlantic crossings in total.
Swallowed the anchor a few years ago due to health after a lifetime aboard, she frequents the Bean to see who sailed in.
A true character.
Wow, never heard of her before but Christie Lenée is really good! I'll also be checking out some of the others you mentioned...

Give me a holler when you have an idea of your G-town arrival, let's get together this time! :)
I will look for Annie next time for sure. Sounds like my kind of people, or at least those who I aspire to.
And ... CapnK, I'm going to start actually moving again sometime in the middle of next week after some weather passes. I will keep you posted. Also sent a PM for some local knowledge.
Shot you a reply today. Fair winds!
So, I got pretty beat up on the way south, but had some fun along the way too.
New Post is up.
I Have Failed To Sail (https://www.bubbathepirate.com/2023/12/i-have-failed-to-sail.html)
Even Steven.
Had some great sailing lately up in Green Cove Springs. I say 'up' because I just bugged out to escape 30s at night. I haven't installed a good vented source of heat yet, so the cold weather brings on terrific condensation. I meant to get further south anyway.

Stumbling into an Odd Job (https://www.bubbathepirate.com/2024/02/stumbling-into-odd-job.html)
Love the update, especially the $400 story. Funny how those things happen.....
Barrettes Privateers is like a Nova Scotia anthem!
Awesome sea shanty!
I'm currently cruising with 2 Nova Scotia boats and as you say, great to be with good friends.
Just read the 2nd update.
Nice you got to sail down..
"Laundry clerk"
That's a new title 👍
Good stuff Bubba, thanks.
Good to catch up!
Just so happens that I currently have a bag full of dirty clothing. (no, I have no idea how the bottom paint managed to get on my tuxedo...)
Where do I send it? No starch or ironing needed. ;D
Carry on!
