Looks Good To Me

As we were heading out Beaufort Inlet... It seemed flat. Rich said, "Looks good to me!"... and we agreed, it did.

But... as the day drew closer to an end, the chunkier it became.

Then the term chunky became an understatement.

It was too dark to photograph, but at one point I saw Two Drifters pitch almost completely out of the water — saw their stabilizer fins. I'm sure we were doing the same.

That's when we decided to head west to seek shelter and we found it there.

Bumpy night.

Leaving Fernandina Beach today... the winds have finally laid down though it's still rainy and foggy.
It's really been blowing for the last couple of days.
Only good thing about that... kept the gnats away.
Not sure where we stop next.

Adios,

Istaboa

The Little Dude Returns

Last Friday, Mason and Silas drove up and spent the night with us. We had a nice time.
I got a couple of good shots of Silas while he was enjoying the pilot house and all it's button and knobs.

I think we may have a 2nd Mate in the making.

And I'm sorry I didn't get any new shots of Maddie. It's a shame, she's really a pretty little girl.

The wind has been blowing something fierce and not supposed to lay down till Wednesday. We're not sure when or where we head next... other than, south.

Cheers,
