Our friends Pat and LT from Kokomo anchored with us in Tom Point Creek south of Charleston after a day of fog, fair tides, and a sigh of relief after passing through the Ben Sawyer Bridge. This bridge has been scheduled to be replaced requiring a 10-day closure of the ICW. Unfortunately the scheduled closure [...]
After two nights at a Georgetown marina, we learned that the ICW had reopened north of us even though the Myrtle Beach fires still smoldered. We slipped our lines, motored past an alligator trying to escape the biting insects and wound our way up the Waccamaw River. We spent a lovely night anchored in Enterprise [...]

Why are ankles always dessert? After turning up Winyah Bay Capt Claw spotted a deadhead dead ahead and steered to starboard. With a swirl of gnarly tail, the log [...]

We are Greg Snyder and Gail Klosterman, originally hailing from Minnesota, currently cruising full-time aboard our Tartan 40' sailboat -- Yoohoo. Join us as we explore a slower pace of life, lingering in the cockpit with late coffee and early cocktails, watching the world float by on the tides. Long-time freshwater sailors, we'll describe our adventures and foibles as we attempt to grow bluewater sea-legs.
