Day 264, May 4th, 2010
Off again at 7:00 a.m. The weather didn't look too bad. The thunder storm that had been forecast overnight never happened and we thought all was well. We heard a weather warning on the radio that a severe storm was meant to happen 20 miles off shore with water spouts - so were glad we'd made the decision to go "inside". Anyway, about half way through the morning it started to drizzle and then clouded over completely. The rain got harder and continued without stopping all day. Visibility wasn't bad though so we kept chugging along. Very little wind so no fun! I'm glad it was John's day! There he stood in his rain jacket, soaking wet all day!! I retreated to the cabin. Finished knitting a sweater for Abby. Made a nice salad for lunch - handing it out to the poor Cap'n. And made stew and home made biscuits for supper!!
Managed to get to Hilton Head (didn't see any golfers this time) where we found a really good anchorage at Skull Creek. Little more cover this time with trees and some lovely homes.
Just as we got settled, wouldn't you know it, the sky broke up, the sun came out and there was a beautiful rainbow!!! By the time we'd finished the chores, i.e. fuelled up, plot the course for the next day, had supper and done the dishes, we just had time to snuggle down and watch a movie!!!
