We unhooked from the mooring ball in south Beaufort at 6:50am this morning and headed toward home. We figured we would anchor tonight in Charleston. We had a good tide pushing us most of the day and arrived in Charleston at 1:45pm. Just to early to stop so we kept going and we were so glad as the Charleston Bay was incredibly smooth and we were across in about an hour. We then decided to push on and make it to Santee river just short of being home. We traveled the longest day ever in all of our years of traveling up and down this waterway, 115 miles!!!!! That’s 12 hours and 15 mins of traveling!! I kept Rod fed and watered all day!! Lol. He was tired when we anchored at 7:15pm. I had fixed supper and he ate while he drove. We sat on the back deck and watched the most beautiful sunset ever!!! We talked about this was the last sunset we would see on our boat Sursum Corda!! Our last voyage!!!! Excited about new adventures but sad to let her go!!! She has been a great home for us for 9 years!! And has given us many great trips south to Florida and the Keys!! She is officially up for sale!!! A new chapter begins in our life!! I know God has a plan!!!
We will be in our docking slip in Georgetown by noon tomorrow!! It’s been an incredible first 6 months of retirement!! We feel so blessed!!!
Thanks to everyone for reading my blog!! And especially thanks for all the safe traveling prayers, they have all been felt and we know without a doubt God has been present with us every mile of our journeys!! We have made lots of new friends and treasure them all.
We love you all, Ms. Fran & Cap’n Rod
