At 7:00 am, started our engines and we pushed off from the dock. The calm waters made for great sleeping but tricky to pull away from the dock. We were parallel parked and turning out is a challenge to avoid hitting our swim platform on the dock. Kelly used a pole to push us from the stern while Mike turned us out.  

Once we got on the ICW, it was a beautiful morning – calm winds and current. No one was on the water … except birds, dolphin and horse flies! Jen sprayed the canopy and the horseflies left after they bit Mike.  

It was one of those days that energizes us on why we are doing this. This isn’t a vacation, it is a adventure. Many days, it can be stressful and hard work. Today wasn’t one of those days. It was a beautiful trip.  

Kelly drove while Mike worked and Jen did blog posts. Kelly prefers to help plan and navigate. She drives when the water is easy and calm.

Getting into Harborwalk Marina in Georgetown, SC was easy. It was another parallel parking but there was a wide open spot. Mike backed into the marina, Jen tossed the dock hand a bow line, then Kelly tossed him the stern line. Easy, peasy!  

Once we got settled, Kelly and Jen got an Uber to Enterprise car rental and drove Jen to the airport. We were all a little nervous about Jen leaving. We’ve established a routine with each one of us having our jobs. Our routine will be thrown off without her. We believe we can do it but still nervous. We will also miss Jen a lot. We love all love each other very much (Michael included) and it is hard to say good bye. So, instead, we said “see you soon!”

Major travel day for boo boo Jen! Below are pictures from the rest of her day after getting dropped off at the airport.
