Hilton Head to Port Royal, SC (docked)
June 29, 2025
It was a very short trip back to our home marina today, just a jump across Port Royal Sound. It’s much shorter distance to go by water than by land (it’s about 30 miles from land to Skull Creek) which says more about the geography of the Low Country than anything else.
Other folks left visual reminders of their sailing adventures – one something tragic and awful; the other, something annoying and maybe funny. There’s a lot that can go wrong – usually not terribly so.
Home feels different when we actually travel IN our home. It’s good to know the folks in our marina and to have easy access to groceries…but good vacations are ones that feel as if they’ve ended too early. Getting back into routines can feel great, except when the goal of vacation was to get away from routine. We have a family (non-boat) vacation coming up, but I am already missing waking up at a remote anchorage.
