We got up early yesterday morning with a plan to sail about 22 miles north to Brunswick, GA. After checking the weather forecast we weren't sure we still wanted to go. The wind was more northerly than had been predicted so we would have to tack if we wanted to sail. We were also concerned about the wave heights. In the end, we chose to give it a try. Because the current was against us it took two hours to get out of the inlet. The sailing was nice, but slow, and the waves weren't bad. By noon we were just halfway there. We turned the engine on, furled the jib and dropped the main and motored on (George's fix on the lazy jacks is working, yay!) It took another two hours to get from the channel outside the inlet to Brunswick Landing Marina. We pulled into the fuel dock just before it closed at 5 pm. Our 22 mile trip ended up being a very long 50 miles. 
Brunswick Landing Marina is lovely. Free laundry, free beer and wine, free loaner bikes, nice floating docks and great staff.
