Bump

Day #15: Ken Smith, who prides himself on never having bumped the bottom in 16 years with his tug, Polar Mist, bought dinner this evening. Dinner, you see, is the price an errant helmsman pays for going aground. In fairness Ken's grounding occurred at low tide in the Field's cut, an area renowned for its lack of water. Still, you'd think a guy with an unblemished 16 year record in the Pacific Northwest would last more than just two days on the ICW ;-)

It was a fast run from last night's anchorage in Beaufort, SC to Savannah's municipal dock. We covered 41nm and upped our total to 623nm. DBH
