Here Comes the Heat, Wind and Rain Again

Well, day 8 began with an attempt to make an offshore passage from Cape Fear to Charleston we estimated the journey would've taken about 24-30 hours. After exiting the inlet and working a few different courses, we determined that the cards weren't in hand with winds higher than forecast an building seas on the nose. We doubled back and headed down the waterway. We were lucky today that there were no bridge delays, however the weekend warriors were still out on the waterway. We made Myrtle Beach and listened in on some thunderstorm warnings, which after confirming their threat on the radar we pulled in to Barefoot near Crescent City SC for the night. An hour after we pulled in the storms we were wane about moved through with significant force. At least we'll have A/C this evening, a spoiled time indeed.

Hot and still down here, not a breath of wind until seabreze kicks in and then dies.! Moved from EGB out to anchor to try to catch some breeze and save up for engine transplant. Found out wind scoop is torn to shreds. Those scoops are as good as A/C when the sea breeze kicks up in afternoon.
