May 27th- Steamboat Creek, SC

Pull the arm on the weather slot machine. Tropical Storm Bertha. Our big dinghy dock is Steamboat Creek landing on Edisto Island. This is the reason why Catalpa has a big anchor.

It wasn’t that bad. We’ve been in heavier winds. We once had a micro burst happen in Provincetown Harbor. That one had gusts up to 70mph. This was far less. There was a ton of rain but we are in a boat so no problems with flooding out here. It was all over in a few hours. We slept through part of it.

That’s the news from Steamboat Creek. The rain has stopped. The dinghy is bailed out. The foul weather gear is drying. We have plenty of food and water. Ice might be a problem. We plan to move on tomorrow. The weather is 50/50 for Thursday. Hopefully the weather slot machine comes up with three suns.
