Next big trip

We are preparing to go for another all night adventure out in the Atlantic. This way we get to FL and miss the curvy narrow ICW. It was challenging for us to get through SC due to tidal changes of up to 6 feet. We ran a ground again Saturday nearing low tide but were able to navigate through the soft mud.
Whew!
We will miss going through GA completely but there the tide changes up to 9 feet in some parts.
The Elf has been a regular visitor and the kids enjoy finding him every morning.
