After a pleasant two day stay at Beach Marina we had to head on out. Georgia was so close and we still wanted to go outside. Whoever is in charge of the weather is just not cooperating. While the sky this morning looking little promising it quickly became obvious: it was going to rain and rain all day.
I brought Tom his foul weather gear and ducked below. I did make him a hot lunch, and came up to give him a couple of breaks. We crossed the Cumberland Sound into the St. Mary's Channel Range. There are the marsh grass islands with birds hunkered down against the weather. Waters were a little choppy but nothing compared to the 3 to 5' readings on the buoys out in the Atlantic. I only caught rain spattered glimpse of the Cumberland Island National Seashore. We past the Kings Bay Submarine base with the patrol boats watching as to motored in our assigned channel.
The rain became spits but the wind picked up as we came to our berth for the night. No drama Cool Hand Too came in and we were soon tied for the night. More rain in the forecast tomorrow, maybe we will stay and see the turtle house again.
