Weather

It looks like another delay; weather has not been our friend. Winds gusting 25k and 4-5 ft seas for the next 3 days.  When we talk about 4 ft seas it does not sound like a lot but let me tell you down here it’s like hitting a wall every 3 seconds. The tide against the wind the current against the tide, makes for very confusing seas. With all the delays I had to get our new friend Buddy to drive me to Wal-Mart before leaving Chesapeake City I had to get some warm closes. Thinking we would be further south by now I didn’t bring a good supply of warmer stuff. But you can feel the temperature changing as we get a little farther south each day. As lane mention we filled up with fuel yesterday. With engine and generator we are burning 3.53 gallon per hour. About half the time we had to run at 2400rpm against the currents 3 to 5 knots. When we get into to ICW I would guess the fuel burn will be better. But the present rate is real good. All we can do now is put the tender in the water and enjoy Solomon’s Island for the next three days.
