Day four...

The seas were angry today my friends -  Rain, lightning, thunder, wind.  Fortunately, the SOB is equipped with the latest electronics available - GPS chart plotter, radar, sonar, and we made it to our destination safely.  We left Hilton Head this morning at 7:30, hoping to out run the storm we knew was rapidly approaching from the west.  The storm struck us about 9:30, as we were exiting the Port Royal Sound.  It was raining so hard visibility was down to just a couple of hundred yards.  As we approached our destination (Beaufort, SC Town Dock) Marianne bravely donned her rain gear and went out on deck in the driving rainstorm to handle the lines as we docked.  She did her job perfectly, and we are (as I type) having happy hour to celebrate our successful day's voyage.

Pics are of Beaufort & harbor after the storm.

Tomorrow - Charleston, SC
