Day #16: While crossing Sapelo Sound, GA we took a few minutes to hoist the 45lb stainless Danforth aboard and replace it with the 16lb Fortress. Why? Because in Beaufort, SC we dragged the Danforth all over the place--for yet another botched anchoring attempt. Enough is enough. To recap. Nellie's 80lb Babeth was replaced with the 45lb Danforth, which has now been replaced with the 16lb Fortress. What's next, a 1lb fork? Good news is the Fortress grabbed right away this evening.
A long 68nm day saw us from Savannah to just east of Darien, Ga. Total mileage is now 691nm.
