We finally relocated "Caol Bàn" from New Bern, NC to Daytona Beach, FL despite days of 98 degrees F. (115+ degrees apparent) and successive days of severe (and they MEANT "severe") thunderstorms from North Carolina to Florida, including one which caught us in the Cumberland Sound (thankfully not in the narrow channels before or after the sound) and handed us 65+kts of wind, a LOT of horizontal rain and enough lightening all around us to keep us satisfied for a lifetime.
Apart from these inconveniences we had a great (although rushed) trip south and, on the occassions when we used a marina, found all but two of them extremely helpful and friendly.
Now we are tied up in Halifax Harbor marina, FL, which is one of the most efficiently run and friendly marinas in FL. And happy to be there, although only temporary.
I'll be putting pics etc on www.muttlets.com in the near future.
