Our overnight trip from Southport to Beaufort was uneventful. We arrived at Homer Smiths Docks and Marina at 9:30 yesterday morning after motoring 16 hours. Once again, the wind was too light and too far behind us to keep the sails filled. After getting settled in our slip we walked to the office to check in and then to a coffee shop down the road. That took all the energy we had so we stayed on board the rest of the day and we each had a long nap.

We are happy to be snug in our boat through this weather.
Today we borrowed Homer Smith’s courtesy car and ran a few errands. One of the errands was buying a small Swiss Army knife to replace the one George lost months ago somewhere on the boat. It may turn up someday…or not.
After taking nice, long, hot showers in Homer Smith’s beautiful facilities we walked into town for a late lunch/early dinner. We got back to the boat right after it started to rain and now it is really coming down. We are expecting rain and wind the rest of today and all of tomorrow.

Bev, keep dry and warm. Right now we are in Brunswick, GA on our way to Florida and the real feel temp is 42. Torrential rains all day while driving too!
ReplyDeleteBrunswick!?! How about that?! We often stop in Brunswick, although we didn’t this time. Wouldn’t it have been something if we had been there at the same time! Enjoy your time in FL. We are keeping warm and dry with the help of our little electric heater.
