Red Skies at night...

Sailors' delight or in Italian;
Rosa sta serra, buon tempo despera.

Funny story about how I learned that.
You have time for a story? Always polite to ask.. (line from a movie, lol)
While in the Army, in Italy, I was on patrol with my partner for the night, an Italian cop.
He spoke very little English, and at the time, I spoke very little Italian.
So we passed the evening teaching each other how to say the above sailor's quote :)

OK, down to business.
My current position is:
N 33*51.559'
W078* 38.055'
Today SunRunner did 60 miles and got me into South Carolina!
I was just holding on, she did the hard part ;)
Today was just a gorgeous day on the water!
I saw big casino boats, a dolphin and many awesome houses along the ICW.
SunRunner's anchored in a wide spot with a channel marker to the bow and a dock protecting my "6" (stern).
I threw an anchor off the stern so I wouldn't swing on the hook out into the channel ;)
That 2nd anchor was given to me by a friend of the family, Peter.
So here's a shout out to him!
Thanks Peter! :D

  1. Glad to hear the weather cleared up and you made some progress on your trip. Also glad to hear all is well and everyone is healthy. You never mentioned if your cat is along for the trip.

  2. Nope, Mo stayed back ;)
    He's not much of a sailor. As a matter of fact he "yeowls" when I take him out sailing, lol.
    Currently tied to a fuel dock at Myrtle Beach Yacht club awaiting a TORNADO watch to expire...
