Those are the words we heard on our VHF today during a coast guard announcement of serious thunderstorms in our area. And the announcement made perfect sense as rain had just started pouring down, we were heading into 25-30kts of wind, with 4-5 ft waves, preparing to enter a narrow channel in Adams Creek and wondering if we should have stayed put in South River.
As soon as we entered Adams Creek, the winds died down going over the land and the storm system continued North, leaving us with some scattered blue sky. We decided to keep moving, and arrived safely at Morehead City. The wind is still howling, but we are parked in a slip at a local marina.
Hopefully the winds will die in the morning and we can continue south. We are feeling the need to get clear of North Carolina, known for unpredictable weather in November.
