Daylight saving ended today so we were up an hour "later" and watched the sun come up. We had enjoyed a peaceful night after a great dinner on "Bon Voyage". Since we all had a guaranteed slip at the IOP there was no particular hurry, which turned out to be a good thing as the tide seemed to be running against us 80% of the way. We were soon out of the Cyprus forest and into coastal the marshes, so typical of South Carolina.

We arrived at Morgan Creek at about 4:30 PM and Kylie, Ryan and Oliver were on the dock to greet us. There were now 4 boats in our convoy, all staying at the Wild Dunes Marina on Morgan Creek. It took an hour or so till they were all settled in, after which we 4 retired to the house for a chili dinner that Ryan prepared for us.

Tide Hiker will be at Wild Dunes for a month. On November 19 we are flying to Phoenix to attend to a few issues (mostly doctors and dentists) and catch up with friends. We will be celebrating Thanksgiving at Bill and Tonni's - and we have a lot to be thankful for.

In the mean time we have a page and a half of boat projects to complete. I plan to keep a record of the work - which will not be very entertaining for anyone but me. Sorry about that!

FYI: If you click on the Marina image it should expand to fill your screen. Tide Hiker is moored on C dock, which is the 4th from the left. Kylie and Ryans place is the house between the "C" in Yacht Harbor Ct" and the golf course.
