All dressed up and nowhere to go

We got the injector fuel line replaced, packed up the bikes, water in the boat, then we checked the weather. This should have been done in reverse order. Weather that brought bad storms to Nashville were heading our way to collide with some storms out of Florida. By 1am Wed. night we were supposed to get storms for 24 hours. So much for anchoring out and going into Charleston. We had to cancel on Robin and we set out to explore more of Beaufort or more specifically Lady’s Island –the little burg across the river from Beaufort where they graciously allowed us to stay 2 more nights. The Marina was starting to fill up with boaters ducking in to ride out the predicted storms. First in were our old friends the Valentine’s aboard the Lauren Grace. We crossed the Gulf 3 months ago together. We had kept up with them through their blog but we had not seen them since Dunedin. It was good to see them. We then went exploring where we found an awesome hardware store that had kitchen and other housewares. Walking home around 8pm (about 5 hours earlier than predicted) the rain set in and we had to jog the last mile-- not so bad when it is warm but still wet. At least we had not changed our plans under false predictions. We will wait it out today and head for Charleston tomorrow.

Group exercise before the storm rolls in
