We are in beaufort, sc tonight. Sorry about no post last night when we got into hilton head. We collapsed after battling the wind and current. We stayed in a hotel though which was nice. Ate at the applebees in the parking lot and fell asleep before the caps game was over. We had another rough day today. We kayaked past paris island while a storm kicked up. Not much rain, just lots of wind. My rudder fell off as we were passing the port royal point. We made it into Beaufort though with all pieces still attached to our boats. We have made a big decision regarding the trip. We are going to skip the majority of south carolina and get to myrtle beach tomorrow. We rented a truck and are going to drive the boats up there tomorrow. We have run out of time and really want to get to north carolina. I guess we started a lot later than we originally anticipated and didnt want to miss out on georiga so we though we could make up the miles somewhere along the way. Also we have been paddling from sun up to sun down for two weeks and being able to pace ourselves a little better would be nice. Anyway if all works out we should probably make it to norfolk by our stop day. We are talking of doing the norfolk to lewes stretch after we are done work in the summer. More info to come. Nick
