Marc-   We spent the early morning hours going to Publix with a borrowed car to get some groceries.  This worked very well but delayed our departure until 09:30.  We mostly fought tidal currents today though there were a few passages with favorable current.  We got buzzed by several US Navy fighter Jets near Beaufort, South Carolina this morning who were doing some kind of low altitude training runs.  We were fortunate to have favorable winds from the South the entire day (motor sailing).  This helps compensate for the slow down caused by the tidal currents.  At Church Creek we dropped anchor and Michael & Doreen grilled dinner.  A great meal was had by all.
