We were hoping to make it to Fernandina, Florida, but realized our auto pilot was not functioning. It is way too cold to hand steer through the night so we made our way in to the shallows near Tybee Island to spend a night. We will wait for this cold front to pass before we sail out again.

SW, 10 - 12. Full sails.

Down wind blowing 20, gusting to 30. Exhilarating sail!
