Arrived at Hilton Head
Hilton Head Hilton Head Marina is a gated community with marina called Windmill,
Included in the Marina was South Carolina Yacht Club, and many many nice houses.
The bay is very well protected with its own lock that can accommodate 70 foot yachts. I had made reservations as a reciprocal club member giving me two free nights. They only gave me one free night but at $50 per night I did not want to put up a stink.
I called on the VHF to enter the lock and they were already expecting BELLUM. The fuel dock gut knew where BELLUM was going to. At the club dock Ted was there waiting to help me dock.
We were supposed to spend two nights but the third day was very windy so we spent an extra night - replacing one night at Brunswick. On Wednesday we raced the Harbor 20. Had beer an
d supper at the club.
On Thursday I worked on the boat and then took a golf cart to tour the community.
The staff at the marina had a steak BBQ supper at 3:30. It was early because it gets dark so early. I tried updating the problematic Raymarine Axiom and eventually resetting the Axiom settings. Tomorrow, we will test it while navigating.
On Friday Ted took us to do groceries, Ace Hardware, west Marine and other chores. We had a prime rib supper at the club.
