Okay so now back to the blogging routine hopefully!

Neither Jorge nor I were too excited about getting out of bed this morning. The heater had been going all night so we knew it was going to be a cold day and we were right! And it was windy to boot. Winter coats and toques/headbands, boy you would have thought we were back in Canada. In the morning we unpacked and settled in. It felt good to be back in the boat but we already miss the kids.

After lunch we had one of the marina employees drive us to town for supplies. I had let the provisions drastically diminish so it was a large grocery order (including wine and beer, LOL). Good thing we had a ride and didn't have to walk with it all.

We spent a quiet evening, back on the slippery slope of happy hour (just the two of us tonight). We found a good bottle of inexpensive Malbec at the grocery store so celebrated how good life is (like we need a reason to celebrate!)

Jorge was on a mission this morning, up before 0800. Jobs to do. As there was a lull in the wind, we decided to pump out (desperately needed), filled up with fuel and water, and equalized the batteries. We took the marina for another two nights due to weather so hopefully we can get away from Charleston (finally) on Thursday. It poured cats and dogs here starting late morning although the temp was 20C today, big difference from yesterday but the wind had increased again, gusting to 25 kts in the afternoon. Apparently it is going to increase during the night. Makes one happy that there is no anchor watch for the next couple of nights!

The weather is not looking favourable for going on the outside, strong winds and seas 4 to 6 feet, so I guess it will be the ICW. Bluefin is posting gale warnings and a tornadao watch for the next 30 hours for this area. Yikes! Maybe we should get moving. Our goal is Savannah, Georgia by Friday evening. (Caroline and Michel, we are trying our darndest to "get down here", where are you?)

Tomorrow will be more studying of the weather and charts and planning our next move. LOL we were happy to have a bit of a break from constantly analyzing the weather while we were in Canada!
