Nov. 24-28. Welder just got a huge job from his biggest customer, so he has no time for us. I’m exploring other options for straightening the bow pulpit. The weather is just as bad as they predicted, and then the Thanksgiving Nor’easter came through with even bigger winds and lots of rain, so all and all a very dreary couple of days holed up in Brunswick, Georgia. We’re on a west facing T-dock and the West wind gusted all day on the 27th into the 30s scaring the “stuff” out of me, but there was no fetch (distance for waves to build up for you non-mariners) and the fenders did their job. Wind is down now and will no longer be from the West, so I’m breathing a little easier. It’s Thanksgiving day and it’s 30 degrees when I wake up at 7:00 a.m. Trying to figure out whether I’m in South Georgia or the South Pole.
