We're offshore heading for Charleston, SC. We'll pass Frying Pan Shoals around midnight tonight and should arrive Charleston sometime Thursday evening/night. We're on a downwind run right now and rolling around a bit. Patti is asleep getting ready for shift work.

A fellow boater sent us this picture that he took when we were passing him in the Dismal Swamp Canal last week. Notice the water color. The brown color is from tannin.

We have gotten hung up in a stretch of crappy weather. We wanted to go offshore from Beaufort, NC to Charleston, SC. That's close to a two day run. But, the forecast keeps having 20 - 25 knot winds and we aren't going out in that. We need to backup and regroup. We're going into Beaufort, NC today and try to get a berth at the City Docks. The boat is dripping water inside from condensation and it would be nice to get the reverse cycle AC (heat pump) going to warm up and dry out the boat.
After the laundry is done and the groceries have been bought, we'll decide what our next move is.
