Although my first expedition in the boat is not in sight, it will likely be around Winyah Bay and North Inlet. Here is a google map. I also plan to go further south, towards McClellanville, SC.
As I said in an earlier post, I've never sailed, so this will all be a learning experience for me. Someone told me the other day that they once went sailing in Winyah Bay and were making pretty good speed as far as the wind. When they looked at the shoreline, however, they realized they were actually being pushed slowly backwards because of the force of the current. I'm pretty sure he was sailing in a displacement type boat. My hope is that the planing abilities of the BRS will solve any such problems.
