We are still docked at Alligator Creek Marina waiting out the Spring Nor'easter. Yesterday it rained most of the day and the winds were fierce. Five trawlers and two sailboats pulled into the marina to get out of the weather.
Last night the lows were in the 40s here with snow inland at higher elevations. We were going to leave this morning, but the late weather forecast had changed - predicting winds 20-25kts again today with small craft warnings.
We need a 4-hour weather window to cross Albermarle Sound to Elizabeth City. Tomorrow the winds will be slightly lighter, sunny and seas calmer - we are crossing!!!!
We have been looking at these skies for THREE days!
GOOD NEWS:
New feature to the blog . . . I have been trying to embed a Google Location map into the sidebar, which was easy, but it kept spoting our location in Kansas.
So, in the white Footer Bar, if you click on the address following the Location: tab, it will bring up Google Earth map showing our exact location.
Try it, you'll like it!
I can wait another day before sharing a vicarious thrill of adventure on the high seas. Be safe. The map link worked great for me--I like it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to your location! It has been a real challenge for this landlubber to keep up, this makes it so much easier. Wishing you safe travels and sunny sky’s tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI checked out your Google location - that certainly is cool. XOX
