Hilton Head to Kilkenny

We departed Hilton Head Saturday morning at 7:30 for a ten-hour run to Kilkenny.  Wally organized a special locking for us. 

The morning was cool, and my muscles were tense. 

It was a long day doing 50 miles in 9 1/2 hours.  The cold weather caused me to experience some muscle spasms. 

Gypsy Wind had an oil problem shortly after Hell Gate. 

I anchor with Midnight and Sundance.  Very tired and overeaten at South Carolina YC, I decided not to have supper at Marker 107, which seemed to be an excellent seafood restaurant. 

My Axiom had performed better after being reset the previous day, but it still experienced issues with freezing, crashing, and autopilot problems.  The waypoints database was corrupted, causing a waypoint to become a directory.  I manually cleaned up the database, deleting most of my autogenerated routes to tidy up the auto-generated waypoints. 

I did an oil change 

I offered to give Midnight a dinghy ride in, but they declined, which was good since I was tired.  I made some Manwiches from some ground meat. 

I'm exhausted.
