FL to CT Day 18
North Myrtle Beach, SC to Wrightsville Beach, NC
We left Barefoot Landing at 0715... it was the coldest morning we have had so far this trip... need to slow down a bit getting to CT...


Seemed like we fought current for most of the day but our average speed for the day says we had more boost than slow downs... Weird!


We arrived to Wrightsville Beach our destination for the day at approximately 1645... we were securely anchored at 1700... our position for the night N34°12.457', W077°47.901’. We traveled today for 9.75 hours covering 69.4 nautical miles averaging 7.1 knots.


Posting this blog entry at 2330... after stopping we had an issue with an anti-siphon valve sticking and flooding the engine room and starboard engine. 10 inches of water in the bilge and all four engine cylinders full of water. Spent the evening removing the water from the engine and bilge... NOT A FUN JOB!

All seems great now... bilge dry and engine cleaned out and running fine....
