If you don't have some spare time, do not travel in a small sailing vessel. We are waiting out a gale here at the docks in Charleston, SC. Yesterday was nice, and we could have made it down the ICW to Beaufort; however the forecast was for winds of 35 gusting to 40 plus in the afternoon. There was a line of thunderstorms that went thru at 1300, and I was glad we stayed put. I spoke with our buddie boat today, and they made Beaufort thru the storms in the afternoon and are now pinned to a dock by high winds. I am too old for that, so we stayed put and had shrimp, sausage, and grits at Magnolia's last night. We have filled our water tanks, washed clothes and await an e-mail from Chris on whether to try outside to Savannah tomorrow. If not we will go the ICW to Beaufort. The picture shows Marcnicliz tied along side next to Tamsen, a 171 foot sailboat owned privately by 11 folks. Makes Marcnicliz look like a dingy tender.
Well from the north all I can say is you should be glad you are south. After our additional 4 inches today it has been quite a winter. Now mind you not the DC or Winchester winter as they are having an epic one for sure. However for us "southerners" this just is horrid.
ReplyDeleteThe bad news they now say Sat and Mon we get ...yepyou guessed it... more SNOW. Oh to be late March.
Sounds like you 2 are again having a great time and doing what you love which is a blessing. May you continue to have smooth seas and may the wetaher warm to your delight.
