Quick update on last night...
We were tied up to some old piers and decided to hang there for the weather.
Great decision!
Wind picked up from the south late morning and stayed in the high teens all day, building into the
night. By late afternoon boats coming down the waterway were scrambling for places to ride it out.
Wind started howling around 10:00 but we were secure so we slept.
At 1:00 am the VHF announces a tornado warning for our location until 1:30.
Now tornadoes don't happen in the hills but down here where everything's flat, well, sleep was over.
Never heard winds like we heard last night. By 2:00 am it was over.
We read about the damages in Vermont. One big-ass front to cover the whole east coat.
Now we've crossed the Abelmarle Sound and are at the head of the Alligator River with the wind behind us.
Wow.

Just got on your blog and read through all your adventures since you left Barbs dock. We sure enjoyed your visit. How neat to run into two Lord Nelson’s tugs already! That front came through up here but was not as volatile as expected. Of course we folded our and their Bimini tops down and secure all the lines. Glad you got your parts and repairs done in Deltaville. Crossing the Albermare can be a challenge. After that you’ll pretty much be “inside” for a while. It is cold up here and going to stay chilly for more than a week. Time to get some boats out next weekend when the kids are back down.. stay safe. Enjoy your trip. Margie D
