On the Move Again!

7am cast-off.

After hibernating at Dowry Creek Marina for the last 4 days to wait out the storm, we are on the move again. Hooray!

It was rocky and rolly with gusts up to 40 knots, but nothing a few extra lines and fenders couldn't handle. We deflated our dinghy, put the kettle on and just hunkered down.

So what do you do when it's very rainy, extremely windy and have VERY scatty WiFi?

Do laundry, play board games, dabble with schoolwork, play Minecraft and Scratch, talk to the other cruisers, read and bake, read and bake.

I've been in a bit of a funk lately, not sure why. Just tired. Not sleepy tired. Just energy tired.

My body is crying out for a good workout and stretch.

But SO GOOD to be on the move again today.

Today's passage may finish this evening at Beaufort, South Carolina.

Or if we are feeling good and the weather conditions are favourable, we'll continue offshore overnight to Charleston, South Carolina. Bailout at Wrightsville if necessary.

It's like a choose-your-own- adventure story. Kind of, sort of. With a dozen variables thrown in.

Fair winds!

Thanks to Gramps for bringing some precious squeezy milk bottles from Jersey!
North America has to get on this and stock this sweet goodness in a squeeze bottle already!
