Oh yes, we are still here in Brunswick GA and the weather forecast seems to indicate we will be for another week. We made it through the coldest days Georgia has had in 12 years. We were fortunate enough to purchase two space heaters at the local hardware store before they ran out. That and our diesel heater kept us comfortable. Yesterday and today were in the 60's (so nice) with rain. And now the temps are going down again (not as cold however - 40's and 50's) and the winds are going to blow. We have two shallow sounds to navigate which you don't do in windy weather as they blow up and the water blows out) and we will have to anchor at least two nights as the marinas through St. Mary's and Fernandina Beach have been wiped out as has St. Augustine from the hurricanes. Not going to anchor without any heat at 30 degrees or less. And so we wait.
We have befriended Capt. John aboard Common Cents - a 60' yacht - who has been keeping us abreast of the marina and sailing conditions as we move south. They are headed to the Abacos too, and are not planning on getting there until March. We are thinking the end of February due to Bill's medication refills.
Somehow with boat chores, dog walks and exploring we have managed to fill our days. We got needed haircuts the other day and today we treated ourselves to lunch at the Indigo Coastal Shanty. It was sooo good! We rented a wreck again the first of the week to explore, get groceries and oh yes, another pair of shoes. We both have worn out our shoes! All the walking keeps the weight down however while we are not sailing.
April is doing just fine. She really has become the sailor and adjusts to any situation. Just make sure she gets her walks and meals on time and she is a happy girl.
