day 12

Thursday 9-11-08 Day 12.....Left Charleston, OR about 0700. Saw three other boats that left about the same time. Calm, sunny for 3 to 4 hours and then the fog rolled in and could no longer see the others. Radio contact with Bamboo (Tim and Michelle Lutman) throughout the day. They plan to continue on, while we plan to stop for the night in Brookings, OR. It got dark and Brookings we felt was to dangerous to try to enter at night. Lots of rocks and narrow, shallow entrance. Decided to try for Cresent City, CA. Still motoring. Dick worn out from so many hours at the helm. I assist, but only did about 3 of 22 hours at the helm. Arrived Cresent City at 0400. Couldn,t get to bed quick enough. Thought we would never get warm again. Will try to post some pictures....if we ever get warm enough to take some.
