Here we are, the three if us, listening to the wind in the rigging! Sustained winds of 30 knots, the boat shuddering with each gust of 50 knots or more...been there before!
We arrived back here at Isle of Hope Marina, Savannah, Georgia, on Friday afternoon, after six weeks away, home for Christmas. Last week it was so cold here in the south that we extended our time at home in front of the woodstove for an extra few days. And when we returned to Savannah, we were wondering why we had returned, with the raw day we experienced yesterday. Today the temps were around 70 degrees, and very welcome, but a front is moving through, and the wind has really piped up this afternoon. Just before dark we saw a boat, previously at anchor, move on by, with no one aboard! Once again, we are glad to be tied to a very secure dock. Wouldn't want to be in a lowlands anchorage tonight, even with our new 44 pound anchor!
A few boat jobs to do, and we will be underway in a couple of days, seeking sunshine and warm weather!

Hi Rich, Congrats on your new boat!
We look forward to seeing you on the water! Maybe we'll meet on the Hudson, let's keep in touch.
Hello Karen and Richard,
I hope you are doing well on your trip down south.
Although I wish you spend as much time in warmer climates as possible, I wish I will see you next summer on our annual T34C rendez vous on Lake Champlain.
In the mean time, take good care of you.
