Day 1 (Lunch) Bull Island

32:9.1N
80:49.9W
Leasurely start to a bright, sunny (and hot) Satruday morning - the usual morning tea on the stern seats after breakfast. A good cast off in outflowing tide using the ferry glide to move sideways away from the jetty. Pleasant motor down past Harbout Town and head across Cabilogue Sound towards Bull Island. A brief sail with the genoa - light winds but sufficent to cut the motor and engine the sound of the wind once again. Tide still running out - making way slow / difficult, so back to the motor and approach the isalnd's inlet - heading fro Bull Creek. Decided to cut short, drop the anchor (windlass fully functional), lunch and a swim with the dolphins, with only sea birds (mostly Pelicans) on the beach. A gentle motor back to Plametto Bay marina for the late afternoon.
