We left the Cape Fear sea buoy astern on September 24 at 1400 and enjoyed three days of squalls and lumpy seas. We made landfall at St. Simons, Georgia on Sept.26, at two o'clock in the morning. The entrance was well lit with lightning and booming thunder. Contrary winds encouraged us to enter at St. Simons instead of St. Marys. The next day we motored the ICW to St. Marys and rendevoued with Mike and Gloria Peters on Windfree. It was good to get to sea again on a sailing vessel after a nineteen year hiatus. This was nothing like the thirty knot race to the Bahamas on the Intrepid 32.
