In the past two days we've traveled with our friends on Hawkeye and covered the better part of South Carolina. Finally yesterday we saw temperatures over 70, and were able to shed our foul weather gear and several layers of clothes.
Today should land us in Beaufort SC, if all goes well and the Lady's Island Bridge is opening. The bridge has been have some mechanical difficulties and is only opening twice a day for ICW traffic. We should be there in time for the 2:00 pm opening, assuming we don't run aground and get delayed on any shoals between us and the bridge. But at least the temperature is up to 62, the sun is shinning and it's only 9:30am.
Once in Beaufort, we plan to stay at least 3 days, possibly longer. Now that we are clear of the unpredictable weather in North Carolina, we can slow down and work on some boat projects. We may even get started on varnishing teak if the temperatures stay warm enough to work outside.
