Heading out...

I woke up briefly about half past four this morning (yes, I really did!) and realized that I didn't hear any wind - at all. And at 7:30, that hadn't changed. So here we are, about to head out for a 140 mile sail on the Atlantic, and there's NO wind. Yesterday, the wind was howling out of the south while we partied around the pool. Go figure!
I'm hoping the wind will pick up once we get out there and the predicted 10 knots out of the south will materialize. The long blue line on the chart is our route out of St. Simons - at one point, we'll be about 17 miles or so offshore. The line starting midway is an alternate route out of Hilton Head, should we decide to break our trip to Charleston up.
But the sun is shining, so away we go!
