Tropical Storm IDA
Okay. I understand this trip may be boring for all of you, but I need support here. Where are your comments that I loved reading??? I love Bill dearly, but really, I do need outside input. A 30' sailboat is VERY SMALL during a 4 day storm in which you are anchored in a very small town. Actually out of self preservation we hauled anchor this AM and pulled into a marina here in Georgetown (fortunately some much larger boat decided to leave the marina). The winds are still blowing and the weather is still not safe for us to be out and about. The fresh shrimp is wonderful and Piggily Wiggily provided transportation back to the boat. And the marina has a shower and laundry. PERFECT ! Our friends we met along the way contact us to get the lastest locations and the people we have met along the way are the greatest. It seems that the coastal community and the ICW know the mariners are against great odds. We love you all. More to come.

Hi Barb! Good to hear from you. If you gotta be stuck somewhere, Georgetown is not that bad! It is beautifully warm, 72 degrees, here this afternoon so I know you will get under way soon. I hope you get to charleston on Tuesday. We can leave here after I have my hair done and we can spend the afternoon and evening together if the timing is right. Charleston is great most of the year - probably a little drab here right before the Christmas decorations go up but interesting none the less. Keeping our fingers crossed to be able to see you.
