Day 2 and 3

What a day and night at sea!!! We awoke in Army Hole only to discover that our weak batteries where weaker than we thought, as in non-existant! Thank goodness our cabin batteries and engin batteries are different. We traveled to Port O'Connor, fueled up and headed for the Gulf. We left the jetties at 9:00AM and headed about 10 Miles offshore. Winds where light about 10 to 12 mph. We ran our Port (left) engine the whole trip to keep the cabin batteries charged. We had only enough juice to run the navigation lights and instruments. The anchor and sails had to be put out and in manually. We cruised at an average of 6 knots and arrived in Kemha/Seabrook at 6:30 AM today. We sailed the boat in 2 hour shifts. I would sail 2 hours and get 4 off to sleep and do whatever. We did not have a transient slip lined up, so we puttered around Clear Lake until 8:00AM, made some calls and ended up in a slip with power at Seabrook Shipyard. Our current coordinates are LAT 29 33 LONG 95 01. My sister Lana lives close by and loaned us a car, we went to West Marine for our first trip of the day. West Marine is the Home Depot/Lowes for boaters. We had a terrific lunch at Joe Lee's and are headed to the airport to send Jimmy home. He has been such a help and full of knowledge and experience to share with us, he will be missed!!!!
