Here we are at Walburg Creek

We went outside today from St Mary River. Covered about 80 outside miles instead of over a hundred inside on the ICW to Walburg Creek in St Catherines Sound. Doing this allows us to avoid the worst spots on the Georgia ICW ( I will not go into why the Corps of Engineers is always the most incompetent Federal Agency). Weather was good until the last few hours when a cold front came in early with gale force winds as we approached Walburg Creek. Under those circumstances this is the right anchorage; very protected. We had planned on going outside again to Beaufort, but that won't happen this trip. We will get to Beaufort tomorrow on the inside. The weather continues to be erratic at best. The weather forecaster "profession" is the only one in which failure is expected and the paycheck keeps coming. On we go.
