Unplanned Delay

 

Two days ago, we anchored in South River for the night.  Initially we were headed for the small town of Oriental, but stopped just before we got there to avoid a small potentially crowded anchorage.  Thursday morning we awoke to rain and high winds, we weren't going anywhere.  All day the winds howled and the rain fell, by nightfall all had become dead calm.  We rested well wondering if we would leave in the morning.  As we awoke with dawn, all sounded promising.  Until we looked outside.  There was no land, no other boats, no wind, and no sounds.  We were completely surrounded by a dense white fog.  The genetically modified crocodiles could be climbing aboard any moment now.  I think one just passed by the starboard bow!

We patiently biding our time, watching the fog.  If it lifts we will leave today and try to get farther south, if not we may be here a while.
