FL to CT Day 14
Hilton Head, SC to Church Creek, SC
Last night we had a system failure on SAILS... our inverter bit the dust... this meant we had no 120 volt power without the generator running... refrigerator and fresh water pump being the 2 most critical systems down. We ran the generator till 2300.

I did some googling and found a new inverter at the Charleston West Marine... called them this morning after they opened and they indeed did have one in stock and put it aside for us. We were able to get a reservation at the Charleston City Marina. They have a shuttle that we can use to go to West Marine and pick up the inverter... then I will remove our old inverter and replace it with the new one... fingers crossed that this goes well... not able to get the same brand... fits in the spot same width length and depth but the wiring could be an issue.

We left the anchorage this morning at 0730... with generator running for power to refrigerator and fresh water pump.. refrigerator was still cold this morning but will not last all day.

Can't get into the Charleston City Marina until after 1100 so we stopped a couple hours south of there at Church Creek. Have been here before and it's a nice anchorage with plenty of room to swing and good holding.

We arrived at approximately 1715 and we were securely anchored at approximately 1730... our position for the night N32°42.510', W080°10.815’. We traveled today for 10 hours covering 67.7 nautical miles averaging 6.7 knots.
