There have been gale warnings most of the last few days. Seas sounded awful even if it were 80 degrees outside. The dodger is holding up fine, just wish it wrapped all the way around the cockpit. New sailboat rule...the only time the wind isn't on your nose is when it is driving cold rain at your beam.Mike Boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14279932231094933575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773370276862539169.post-10718038423299704332016-01-18T14:02:50.349-07:002016-01-18T14:02:50.349-07:00Hi Mike,

Have you decided to head offshore at Morehead City or continue south on the ICW for a bit more? Sailing in 30 degree temps and 15-20 knot winds- they call that Frostbiting in smaller sailboats, not sure about 38' cat. How is your temp dodger holding up?<br />Anyway wishing you a speedy trip south.<br />Doug in VTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773370276862539169.post-65487354169172589182016-01-17T14:36:42.603-07:002016-01-17T14:36:42.603-07:00Weather has been kind of crazy everywhere.
