After years of living aboard and cruising Calypso the slightest abnormal thump, clump, or bump, gets investigated. Such was the case this morning in the wake of the “Cold Bomb”.

The wind driven tide on the Neuse River was blown out by 22 knot of NW wind. Calypso settled softly under the dock, waking us with a bump!


After putting on several layers of clothes and dealing with a frozen companionway hatch, Jeff went topside. It seemed the forecast 3-5” of snow with ice beneath it was correct. After adjusting the frozen dock lines we took a few minutes to enjoy the beauty of Hancock Creek before hibernating back below into the warmth of Calypso’s cabin.

Fair Winds and Quiet Anchorages,
Wendy & Jeff
