The forecast for the next few days, or maybe a week, doesn't seem very conducive for travelling. But, as the most recent sleet storm just passed overhead we are safe and toasty below decks still at Lady's Island Marina, Beaufort, SC.

The picture above is from one of our many weather sources we use, Passage Weather, http://www.passageweather.com/ It shows what the GFS weather model believes the wind speed and direction are going to be around 1400 Sunday afternoon. Not always accurate but, when it is aligned with other models, including the reliable out the porthole observation model, it looks spot on to us!

Reading Chris Parkers, Caribbean Weather Center (https://www.mwxc.com/) forecast last night for the Southeast US, he says,

"SUNSET SUN7: 985mb non-Tropical LO with Hurricane (65k+ sustained) wind 33N/74W N@GALE likely even in NC's ICW, stronger offshore / SC backs NNW and begins moderating / GA backs WNW with moderation."

The good news is the Super Bowl get together is in the Cruisers' lounge and Marti Gras is Tuesday. Until then...

Fair Winds & Quiet Anchorages,
