12/6/15   Sunday    Tomorrow is Capt. Webster's BIRTHDAY! And I'm stuck on a boat with no way to get present or even card. Oh woe!

An ordinary day of motoring down the ICW. Beautiful weather. Warm enough. No major challenges. Some new scenery. We're in Georgia now.

Lots of tree skeletons, both standing and on the shores of waterways

That spot of white in the middle of the photo is a sailboat

David was the helms person much of the time and I made a screen for the large sunroof hatch. We came to our overnight resting place in the Walburg River around 3 PM. Visited our friends on their boat (Darlene is allergic to the cat in a big way!) and came home for dinner.

This evening, though, is not particularly ordinary. Wind against tide, and those winds are way more than the 8-10 knots predicted. Reminds me of NYC Hudson River nights with all the wakes and bangs. We're twirling around our anchor chain. The chain rubs against the bob stay - sounds like thunder - and gets caught on an eyebolt and BAMS off, rocking the boat and rattling our nerves. Did I mention that it is raining? But it IS warm. But not very warm. It will NOT be a restful night. Kitty is not pleased, either.
