The last time I received a forecast that called for 45 knot winds, we got hammered by much higher. We are under a gale warning so I decided to seek shelter in a well protected marina here in Beaufort.
Pulled in here at about 10:30 AM. I was happy to see that hurricane damage did not seem that bad. There is still some debris around town, and there were a number of men repairing the marina building's roof so there is no doubt there was a storm, but not devastation. There was also the sobering sight of a couple of good sized sunken sailboats getting raised out in the harbor.
I plan to stay for a couple nights and head out Monday morning. Need to do laundry, too up fuel, water, and so on. Plus, this is a real nice town to just walk around in!
Best, Charlie
