9 1/2
We named our boat after an inspirational board from our screen porch. 9 1/2 was a board from our screen porch. It had been up there for probably 30 years of more, facing out toward the St Helena sound. 
When we took the boards down to re-screen the porch, we numbered them - the 2 corners were 3, 3 1/2 and 9, 9 1/2. Came time to put the boards back up and 9 1/2 was no where to be found! We figured it took off sailing. And, now so are we.
HOLLISTER
Our 'physco bitch'   She's part dingo and a bit wild.  We hope she adjusts to boat life after having 60 acres to roam free
Trip Progress
Update - 3/26/2018 - Hollister is coming around.  She's friendly with most people now. Still doesn't like rough water and going under bridges, but she seems to like the boat in general

first day out
Beaufort SC was our home for 6 years.  The folks there affectionately named us "the Laughies" .  We assume the name proudly.  We now take it along with us on the 5600 mile boat ride.
Plagued by delays, when we finally pulled out of Green Turtle Bay, the weather tried it's best to make us misreble
