Great 48 Day 2

What a great weekend of racing! Really close finishes, lots of place changes (most notable on the beats while crossing tacks), a little shifty, a bit light at times, and some big breeze at other times. Seemed like every condition was out there, just to keep us on our toes, especially today!

Last night, the fajita and margarita party was excellent at the time, but made the 9:30 am start time a little tough to manage this morning (especially for Kim, who really shouldn't have had those last 2).


Dedicated crew hard at work

We had 2 nice races today, long 5 leggers that were a little over an hour long, put us back at the dock around noon. Harry continued the clinic he started yesterday with a first and second on Sunday and first overall. Congratulations to him and Adam Keene.

Second was Chris Danilek, third Peter Beam and we moved up to fourth. They had more food and awards, and we were on the road a little after 2-ish.
On route 26, just south of Columbia, we saw an interesting site. We thought, a submarine? Really??

Submarine guy doing about 53 mph! Ugh!!

6:15 entered Hardeeville, finished book (good work, Thorn – save the day, but lose the girl…ah, well), stopped for gas.

7:00-ish, the search for a hotel for the night begins. Exit 94 on I-95 had good restaurants, but none of the hotels looked great, maybe the cops in the parking lot, and the signs saying something like, "Not responsible for stolen items or cars" scared us away.

7:45 Exit 49 wins. Darien's Super 8 will be our home for the night. $50.00-cheap. We'll definitely Priceline something next time…
