Day 5

Day 5 was going to be a good short day and give us plenty of time running wide open we were 1 min late for the bridge and the Captain had to do loops for one hour. The bridge opened and we were looking at a short run into Charleston but the weather had other ideas ! Wind was gusting 23 + it was blowing rain and then crossing the harbor Fog was setting in. Navigation was a 3 person job someone watching the charts and electronics,someone watching for bouys and markers and boats, Captain driving the boat trying to take in all the information and keep us out of harms way and off the rocks and in the right direction, Came in to the dock with 20 MPH winds and tides running strong but it was a flawless docking and we were happy to be here safe and hot showers and out for dinner !
