Thunderstorms in Beaufort, SC

Got off to a very early start this morning in order to arrive at our next destination before the serious foul weather set in - which it now (at 5:30 pm) has. Docking at 12:30 pm, managed by Gordon, was quite challenging as a fierce south wind was doing its best to keep us off the dock. A torrential rain is giving Finally a good bath. Just hoping it lets up enough to allow us to get into Beaufort for dinner👩🏽‍🍳. Dale, the local marine mechanic, is due on board at 8:30 am to see if he can fix the bow thruster - which only works intermittently on the starboard side...
