End of December, delivery passage from Charleston to Ft. Lauderdale
From Geoffrey
2023 "I was navigator for the delivery
passage from Charleston to Ft. Lauderdale, late 1977 to into 78. New Years was
somewhere off St. Augustine, celebrated by the 2 of us onboard who were awake,
and about 6
dolphins playing quarterwake in the phosphorescence. (The other 6 onboard were
useless being sea-sick.) Didn't do much navigating, lots of steering watch and
watch. The navigating was not really difficult: it's near as makes no difference
400 nm 180 degrees magnetic from the outer bouy at Charleston to the outer bouy
at Ft. Lauderdale. About the top of Florida the coast comes to you, so stay
inshore out of the Stream and don't run aground. Oh wait! No electrics so no
depthsounder... VHF only by way of a cut down extension cord directly from the
battery to the radio! And strong northerlys going into the east throughout,
so very rough in the stream. Magistry was a Great Lakes boat designed for match
racing, and had a number, no a large number, of holes in the deck which allowed
water, no a large amount of water, into the hull in wet conditions. Plus an
electrical system which incorporated not a single bit of thought towards water
proofing and segregation of the system.... AND a perfectly flat floor without
a sump, so that as little as one litre of water or diesel oil was absolutely
guaranteed to slosh around without limit or restriction. Not a nice boat to
do more than daysail. You know: daysailing, where if it is cold, you return
to a hot shower and a hot rum toddy, and if it is hot, you return to a cool
shower, or even a swim, and a cold beer. You sleep in a dry stable bed and you
do not have to wake up every hour to navigate"
