Final Voyage

On June 21, 2014 I will be taking my final voyage aboard the beautiful sailboat, Tiama.  The goal is to leave her in Charleston where the sailboat market is better and where she will quickly find a new owner.  This final sail is not one to be taken lightly, though.  It will be potentially fraught with danger in the form of sharks, thunderstorms, and shifting sandbars.  

A little more on the sharks:

This is a screenshot from the Ocearch.org shark tracking website.  It shows colored tracks of all tagged sharks who all seem to really enjoy hanging out in the stretch from Hilton Head to Charleston.  

Take away the colored tracks and the orange dots left over are the actual sharks.  The four currently nearest the SC coast are Tiger Sharks and the fifth is Mary Lee, the resident Great White.  She was pinged pretty much underneath my boat last November.
