Hilton Head Island: Steve Earley is on his way; the better half

 

Steve Early and his 17’, Welsford Pathfinder, SPARTINA, have embarked on their longest cruise yet.  

Steve launched yesterday in Charleston and as you can see is heading southwest toward Hilton Head Island, which is near the lower left hand corner of the above image, and beyond.  It looks to me as though he will be here in two or three days.

You can follow his progress as I do at:

You have often heard me say that the Southern Hemisphere is the better side of the Equator, but I have never before seen so clearly how much more land there is in the Northern Hemisphere than the Southern, and therefore more people, and therefore more problems, than in a new world map projection.

Look at all that water.  No wonder I like it down there.
