Day #302: Mike and I were up at 5:30 A.M. to prepare for departure. Clear, 72 degrees with heavy dew. Engines were started at 6:10 A.M. At 6:20 A.M. "Magic" was away followed by "Parrot Bay". We were joined by "Sea-Batical" another looper boat. At 8:30 A.M. "Parrot Bay" was in the Ashepoo-Coosaw Cutoff. At 8:56 A.M. "Parrot Bay" at Fenwick Cut. At 10:00 A.M. "Parrot Bay" was at Watts Cut. At 11:00 A.M. "Sea-Batical" passed "Parrot Bay" and "Magic". At 1:42 P.M. "Parrot Bay" passed "Goose Creek" a dredge at Steven's Towing Co. At 2:00 P.M. we were secure at St. John's Yacht Harbor next to "Sea Loons". Mike and I traveled 63.8 miles today (3,247.6 miles total for the trip). At 3:00 P.M. I started two loads of laundry. Mike and I headed to the pool where we spent time with Tina and Patrick from "Sea Loons". St. John's Yacht Harbor has a saline pool it was really nice no chlorine smell. At 5:00 P.M I finished the laundry (what a way to do laundry lounging in the pool). At 5:15 P.M. Tina, Patrick, Mike and I headed back to our boats for dinner. At 6:00 P.M. Mike made hot turkey and cheese sandwiches. Tina and Patrick from "Sea Loons" came over to the "Parrot Bay" for after dinner drinks and great conversation. At 9:00 P.M. it was time for sleep onboard the "Parrot Bay".
