This is a small group who enjoys sailing and we want you to participate as much, or as little, as you would like.

Please be onboard at least 15 minutes prior to scheduled departure in order to receive a mandatory orientation and safety briefing.

4th day, wake up and explore Savannah for the day. Depart Savannah at 4pm for Charleston for an over night at sea where we take turns on a rotating 3 hour night shift until morning.

5th day, Arrive in Charleston around noon, have lunch at the marina or go ashore to the Marina "Variety Store" for an excellent lunch.

All times are not exact as winds ultimately dictate how fast we go and what direction. You would not have to stay strictly to this schedule especially if weather becomes and issue and it becomes dangerous to go offshore for a day.  Marina's are an option but anchoring off a deserted island is completely acceptable too.
