one of those 2 years ago heading south in October.


It looks like you are on the move again. You might be running right
into this mess. NOAA still has it coming in Saturday and still off of
the outer banks on Wednesday.

It looks, on my weather page, like that mess has developed in the last eight hours. The last 'spot'
I have for Wayne is about 12 hours ago. Reckon he shuts the tracker off? Or am I just reading
something wrong?

Never mind. Looks like he's going to pay a visit to the Marines.

Yes, we went right by Paris Island this morning.

Were making good progress for a while but the weather deteriorated
badly in the last couple of hours so we anchored up in a nice secure
spot just off the ICW and a little south west of Charleston. Looks
like it's going to be a windy, rainy night. Internet connectivity is
good, we've got a whole big crate of DVDs, 400 gallons of diesel,
several hundred gallons of water, a freezer full of food and a lot of
good wine. Bring on the storm. :-)

Times like this when you want a faster boat I guess. I saw you moving
but I doubt you can get out from under that mess. If NOAA is right,
it will be going right up the coast with you. Hunker down and be safe.
The sun will come out eventually. Maybe it will move faster than they
predict and you can run behind it.

This *is* a faster boat compared to all of the sail boats we've ever
owned or sailed on. We're also a lot drier and a lot more
comfortable, all the conveniences of home really, just in a smaller
space.

Speed is relative. Some our friends with fast cruisers like SeaRays
will occassionally poke fun at our leisurely trawler speeds. Then I
challenge them to a race - starting at Ft Lauderdale and ending in
Bermuda. End of speed discussion.

We've got friends who live near an ICW marina in southern North
Carolina. I'll keep trying to push on in that direction unless the
weather gets truly awful.

Something to be said for that old turtle and hare story.

The difference is, running inshore, they have plenty of places to get
fuel. ;-)

It is looking like it will just be a nagging rain event. Good thing
you got your stabilizers fixed.
I had never really looked at the ICW that closely but I can see how
you can get pretty much all the way up there without going outside.
I am not sure how you get across the mouth of the Chesapeake.

Yes, it looks like the stabilizer issue is a thing of the past.
Thunderbolt Marine has a first rate hydraulic guy on the staff and we
got the parts overnighted down from Connecticut (where they are made
by swiss elves who charge accordingly). The yard manager shuffled
some of his other projects so we were in and out about as quickly as
you could hope. Five stars for Thunderbolt.

The mouth of the Chesapeake doesn't seem to be an issue for people. If
you stay on the west side it doesn't even feel like open water, and on
the east side you've got the bay bridge tunnel which kind of breaks
things up. The biggest challenge for most people is the New Jersey
coast. The NJ ICW is very shallow and just about impassable for boats
that draw more than 3 ft or so. Going outside you are totally
exposed to the North Atlantic for over 100 miles with only one truly
safe, all weather inlet north of Cape May (Atlantic City).

I am a little bit familiar with the Atlantic there at Cape may. We
used to poke our nose out of that inlet in a 26' Monomoy surf boat and
row around a little. That was exciting in March.
