Starting in Hilton Head Island, SC and traveling to the Chesapeake Bay and back.
May 01, 2009: 7-09-08 We’re on the last leg of our journey. We had a nice dinner at Morgan Creek Grill with Bonnie, catching up and enjoying the company. We’ve promised to keep in touch and hope she and her husband will come to visit. Our last evening was quiet as for some strange reason all the boats were obeying the “No Wake” zone in front of the marina. ... » read more

March 20, 2010: I will try once again to post our final blog for Cool Breeze Sails South.

So here we go again . . .. I rose early on our last day on the water and witnessed a beautiful sunrise o... » read more
