Today was a day of rest on Rogue. After the storms blew through last evening, the winds continued to howl most of the day. You could hear the halyards clanking on the masts of sailboats, and the flags were standing pretty much straight out. As I write this they are starting to calm down. Hopefully we will be back on the "road" tomorrow. We are not far from Charleston Harbor and getting across there during a period of high winds would be a challenge to say the least. Tomorrow should be better.
It was a day for doing laundry and grocery shopping. We also got pumped out as well. Today was also the changing of the guard. Rick who has been with me since day 1 had to leave for home, and my good friend George arrived. In fact George got here early enough that Rick left shortly after lunch to head for home. I'm sure he will be home to sleep in his own bed tonight. A welcome change I'm sure. My thanks to Rick for being here, you were a great help and big thank you.
The marina we are located in is called St. Johns Yacht Harbor. Let me tell you, these guys are fabulous. It is a great facility, one of the nicest I have seen anywhere. The bathrooms, showers and laundry are all well done, clean and fairly new. When we came in yesterday, the dockmaster and one of his helpers were there getting us tied up in the pouring rain. I needed an envelope to mail something and they gave me one, and a stamp too, no charge. We needed to go to the grocery store, they printed out directions and gave us the keys to the courtesy car. Free WIFI all over the harbor here. All floating docks with all hookups necessary. When I get down this way again, I will definitely consider this as a stopover.
No statistics to report today
Until then.....
