After our sloppy entrance to the Beaufort Town Marina our relationship with John (the person who’s boat I “kissed” on the way in) has improved. We shared the free meal at Hemingway’s and shared boat side drinks and conversation. We were talking about our boats and the question came up about the length of our boat. I replied “it’s 70′ long”. John said he didn’t think it was any more than 65′. I replied “if that were so I wouldn’t have hit your boat on the way in”. We laughed and I think he was finally over my mishap. In fact tonight he shared with Susan some homemade wine a friend gave him before he left New York.
John and the other sailboat are headed to Tunderbolt in the morning, a few miles below Savannah River. We are hoping to make it a little further.
