On the move again

21 January 2016 | Little River Inlet
Rolf / Sunny, Cold, little wind
Ice on DeckTuesday we (Jeff L and I) sailed from Beaufort to the Masonboro inlet in 23-36 degree cold air and reaching winds of 15-20 with gusts to 30. The boat behaved very well. Watches were 1 hour, we left a about 5:12am " arrived with anchor down at 4:00pm, switched to "house" heat (no longer engine heat), had rice and beans, chips and salsa and sleep very well, very warm.

Wednesday we moved inside down the ICW to the small town of Southport and tied up to a restaurant dock - the restaurant was closed - and Ben R joined us. Thai dinner out at a very nice restaurant in town after a walk around, then another warm night on the boat.

Today we are again on the ICW. The weather is expected to turn on us, with strong south winds and rain all day Friday, so we elected yo spend these days inside getting further down he coast. Either late Friday or Saturday we will likely head off-shore at either Winyah Bay or even Charleston if we get that far.
