This adventure took place on 'Sunday February 25th, 2024'

SV Will Sea Delivery to Charleston
This adventure took place on 'Wednesday January 10th, 2024'
The sailing vessel Will Sea needs to be moved from Bucksport, SC along the Atlantic Intra-Coastal Waterway (ICW) to Charleston, SC where she will get some needed improvements before being sailed up to Annapolis in the spring. The challenge will be avoiding all the very shallows parts of the ICW. There's one swing bridge we will need to time correctly. Being very conservative we've decided to break this short trip into three sections. Day 1 we'll head from Bucksport, SC to Georgetown, SC where we'll grab a transient slip. The next day we'll do the longest leg from Georgetown, SC to Isle of Palms, SC. Then there's just a short stretch the next day to get to Charleston which should allow us to pass through the shallowest section at high tide with plenty of the depth to spare. The boat needs some prep work before Wayne and I attempt the voyage so I'm heading down a few days early to get things ship shape. I'll end up staying in Charleston for several days while I arrange to get estimates for all the various improvements I want to make to the boat. Between this nasty flu I've had and the distance, scheduling all of this has proven challenging. I'm interested to see what surprises wait for us.

Sun Odyssey 44 Survey South Carolina Car Trip
This adventure took place on 'Monday December 4th, 2023'
I am going to evaluate the first candidate sailboat in detail on Tuesday. I've scheduled an out of the water survey. Clearly buying a boat is a fools errand, but I am drawn to this task for reasons I do not fully understand. While I suspect to find show stoppers, I have to keep an open mind and not dismiss the opportunity out of hand.

Cloudy. Rain forecast. Cool to Cold. We're planning to head out anyway, but discretion being the better part of valor, taking the RX8. It was two years ago today, Duncan bought it.
Another Ad Hoc Hot Weather DR Ride
This adventure took place on 'Monday September 4th, 2023'
Duncan wants to take Alli's DR200 out to run the old gas out of it since it also has not been run in over a year.
Hot Weather DR Adhoc ride
This adventure took place on 'Sunday September 3rd, 2023'
Duncan hasn't run his DR650 in far too long so the plan is to brave the heat for a short-ish DR ride. I'm not sure where to head. Maybe Southern Maryland. I'm not sure if we'll find any dirt, but heading to the water might be nice.
Summit Point Spectator Ride
This adventure took place on 'Sunday August 27th, 2023'
We're heading up to Summit point to watch a track day and hopefully meet up with Tom.
