How is the fleet there Capt?  How are you and the crew dog doing?
Satisfaction is wanting what you already have.

Yes... inquiring minds want to know 👍😄
God made small boats for younger boys and older men

We pretty much lucked out here, despite or even moreso because of the fact that mostly we were in the eye while she lingered. So wind stayed fairly light and E/NE'erly, which is across river where Hobcaw Peninsula gives us protection, a weather shore just a few hundred feet away.
It's worst here when the wind comes strong from the SW, which is up the Bay. Then there is 6+ miles of fetch, and with enough wind, say up to mid 40's plus - we can see 2-3' waves build. Those are small at sea, but HUGE in a marina! The last day of steady bad weather was Friday, and it did blow SW'erly, but the highest it got was sustained low 20's for a few hours, with some gusts maybe 10-15mph on top of that. That, and some heavy rain bands which moved through overnight before she got far enough away that we were in the clear. So, rough and a little bouncy, but not terrible.

Hoping praying knocking on wood burning incense sticks that we have a "one and done" year!!!
