<p>One more cold night tonite, Bob, and then we will be warm after that. These Georgia tide waters are twisty and the beautiful light greens of the marsh lands are set off beautifully by the darker greens and russet autumn colors on the slightly elevated oak and pine tree covered small islands scattered all around.

The inlets to the oceans are dramatic.</p>
<p>A special feature of these areas is a particular behavior of the dolphins which is seen no where else in the world. It is called strand feeding and I hear Jacques Cousteau did a special on this activity. We have seen on other trips and also on this trip, the dolphin actually herds fish up in the shallows and chases up after them right up on the muddy banks and catches them and then wiggles and slides through the mud back into the water. I have seen the dolphins even try to catch birds this way. All along the edges of the banks on can see scalloped marks where the dolphins have been strand feeding but these marks disappear when the tide comes back in. It is noisy activity so at anchor, you can hear it and come out and see them doing it. Most interesting.</p>
<p>We remember so well Jonah and Dante sailing with us looking for buoys and helping to navigate when they were small boys. And the wonderful picnics we all had out on the foredeck with fresh tomatoes and basil from your garden and cheese and always the warm summer wind. </p>
<p>It will be in the 30s tonite. But soon we will be where it is warm and toasty for the rest of the winter. </p>

<p>We built Mon Tiki as a USCG certificated daysailing charter. John Marple of Searunner to the additional engineering for us. We started at the beginning of 2012 and launched a week before Sandy. She's got a COI for 49 and this summer just past was our first summer of operation. (We actually did a 1 hour cocktail party with 44, but normal outings are more like 10-15.)</p>
<p>The interior is still pretty raw, and that's part of the reason for taking her south, to get somewhere more conducive to fitting out the interior than cold, damp Montauk winter. I don't know that we'll make it to Manjack this year, but soon and hope.</p>
<p>I made a short video from some footage I shot earlier this week on the way from NYC to Norfolk. You can see it here. I'm really happy with how Mon Tiki sails. Much more weatherly than I expected and a very relaxed ride up to about 8kts. She goes faster (we hit 14 on a big gust off of Barnegat) but mostly I can do without the excitement. I also think the interior is going to really work well for our family as I get it fitted out. Even in it's raw state I like the double much better than the double on our Catalina 38. </p>

<p>Hello Annie and Neville!</p>
<p></p>
<p>It's David Ryan. You met me, my wife, two daughter (8 & 2 at the time) and our big black dog down on Manjack Key in 2010 when we were taking our first family cruise on our recently purchased Catalina38.</p>
<p>Well here it is 6 years later and I just pulled into Willoghby Bay Marina to tie up our Tiki 38 "Mon Tiki" after a spirited run from NYC to Norfolk on the northwesterlies we had Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.</p>
