See? Another great reason to move out of the 2-week boating season in Maine, no matter how quaint it is, to Charleston, which is equally quaint, but where you can boat 365 days a year...(c; True Chaostoniuns don't prounounce Rs eitha, so you'll feel right at home. Just swap Ayah for Y'all. They're very nice and most have forgiven Yankees for the "unpleasantness" of the 1860's....except General Sherman, of course. Google Earth to the area around Charleston and see if you see any uncluttered waterways to explore.... Geez, make sure the GPS is working so you can find your way out! Both Northeast and Southwest of here it's wilderness for over 50 miles! From NOAA: "OVERNIGHT...SW WINDS 20 KT. A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS. WAVES 1 TO 2 FT. .FRI...NW WINDS 10 TO 15 KT...BECOMING W 5 TO 10 KT IN THE AFTERNOON. .FRI NIGHT...S WINDS 5 KT. .SAT...SW WINDS 5 TO 10 KT. .SAT NIGHT...SW WINDS 10 KT. .SUN AND SUN NIGHT...SW WINDS 10 KT. A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS. .MON AND TUE...SW WINDS 5 TO 10 KT. A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS. UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED...WAVES 1 FOOT OR LESS. CHARLESTON HARBOR WATER TEMPERATURE...81 DEGREES." Falling overboard is damned near like taking a bath at 81. The bikinis on the beach have bloomed and many are already in breeding condition... I know where there's good dockage for the beast.... Got room for more snowbirds down there? Getting tired of this... http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=44258 |
