Same guy here. Also, any books on routes available for sailing? Did the Appalachian trail twice now and I know there are books for each mile and hostile sleeping site and wondered if same might be available for sailing? Thanks again. Plan on a stop in NC at Oriental and Beaufort or "Boford" still trying to learn the nomenclature.

Ooopos. Also, just have 9hp outboard as power if this matters. Planning on late Oct trip or mid to late Nov. trip.

My wife and I brought a Hunter Vision 32 down from Baltimore to Charleston about a month ago. Please contact me directly at daniel.snow@scana.com and we can share a lot of information.
