Recap and photos from first leg of Trip

On a chilly Saturday morning, February 20, 2010, Patina left River Dunes around 1 pm and exited the Beaufort Inlet before dark.  She spent the next two days at sea, arriving at Charleston on Tuesday, February 22, 2010 around 9 am, covering an estimated 246 miles.  The crew had to slow down early Tuesday morning to avoid entering Charleston Harbor in the dark.  They docked at the Charleston Martimine Marina.  They used a combination of sailing and motor sailing to cover the distance.  On board, Ken Burke, Mark Lucas and Sarah Rilinger took two hour shifts through each night.  I am hopeful that each of them will add comments to this blogpost detailing some of their thoughts about this leg of the trip.  The one I know for certain is COLD.
