Today was cloudy with intermittent rain.  Nothing to do but catch up on our naps, read a story or two, and watch a little TV.  Winds were expected to be in the 15 – 25mph range.  Not bad but not super good either.

We did attend a weather briefing:

Southport marina hosts Hank Pomeranz (Carolina Yacht Care ) who provides ICW and weather briefing to boaters passing through.  As written on Active Captain:  “Teaming with Carolina Yacht Care (cYc) and Zimmerman Marine, Southport Marina invites you to join us for this free, one of a kind service geared towards transiting boaters.  These informal discussions are an opportunity for you to join fellow cruisers at the end of the day for a presentation and interactive discussion on weather and navigation issues for the next leg of your journey.”  Hank Pomeranz 

Hank goes over the latest weather forecast for that little “disturbance” to the south of us.  The haven’t given it a name yet.  It looks like it will form into something.  Time will tell.  We may be here longer than 3 days.
