Today's Pic — Sunset

Bout to see some of this.

By the time most of you see this pic, we'll be underway and pointed toward Cape Fear, NC

One all-nighter an we'll have caught up with our earlier schedule. The seas are predicted to be okay and we'll have clear skies and half a moon till after midnight. 

I love these runs... A mixture of apprehension, a tad of anxiety, and a low level hum of excitement. Then after a while — The fizz is gone, it flattens out, and turns to boredom.

We hope.

Today's Pic

Was taken a few years ago. Low tide in Hope Town Harbour.
Next to the ferry dock, a sun bleached frond had washed up on the sandy bottom and was laying next to the bulkhead; it caught my eye. The light was good and the colors looked interesting so I took a photograph. It didn't turn out as good as I'd hoped, but I kept it anyway.
Last night while playing with photoshop, I used an artistic effect on that old shot to make it more appealing.

I think it did...

No, we didn't leave Thunderbolt as planned.
We'd prepared to shove off, polished fuel, took on some water, then I went to check out. Josh, the office dude, informed me it would be cheaper to stay another couple of days and take the weekly rate. Essentially the next two nights are free.

Free at last...

Got things we need to do that requires time and internet so a week in Thunderbolt it is.

Cheers,

Today's Pics

No, we're not back in Memphis... just been thinking about home and processed some pics. I may have put these up before.

 

If weather permits, we'll leave Thunderbolt tomorrow and head for somewhere in South Carolina.
Not a long trip. 30 to 40 miles, but we'll have to wait for a rising tide which will be after noon.
Guess we'll have to sleep in again.

interesting...

Today's Thought

With the current weather conditions, winging it seems to be the plan.
Another big thunderstorm with a flashy light show last night and more predicted for today.
Last evening, our cell phones made sounds we'd never heard before... It's an alert system that works via text; flash flood warning.
Wonder if this is new or we're just in an area that offers such a service?
That's one form of weather we're not too concerned about.

Thanks for checking in.

Nice folks aboard the Krogen that's tied up in front of us, 'Santa Clara'. They've rented a car and kindly invited us to dinner yesterday evening. So, we drove over to the Crab Shack on Tybee Island. 

An interesting place. Gator pond, Tropical Birds... interesting, and the food was good. 

'Tis the season on the Georgia coast.

Today, we're taking another day off and waiting on packages from home. May take our friends up on a ride to the grocery store, we need stuff.

Life is good... simple.

Cheers,

Istaboa

ps... Happy Friday
