Uncertain

Chris Parker, the weather forecaster to whom we listen six mornings a week, frequently uses the word, “uncertain.” That word “certainly” applies to our plans right now. We thought we would be leaving Beaufort tomorrow morning and sailing—motoring—about 53 hours to Brunswick, GA. That plan is now “uncertain”  due to squalls that are forecasted in South Carolina and Georgia for Sunday and Monday. The problem with squalls is not so much the rain but the potential for strong wind and possibly lightning. We will continue to look at the forecasts as they update and make our decision tomorrow. 

This morning we did a load of laundry first thing, before the sun was even up. I made a batch of seed crackers, then we made a quick trip to the grocery store using the marina courtesy car. In the afternoon we walked into town and stopped at the coffee shop on our way back to the boat. 

There was plenty of wind today to keep these lawn spinners moving as we passed them on our walk along the boardwalk. The wind should be much lighter by tomorrow.
