Blows my mind how quickly it got cold. Supposedly in the 30's last night - it was 40 degrees when we got up. We slept with two blankets and slept in because we did not plan to leave until 11 AM. A week ago it was 80- degrees and humid.
Modest day planned today - just 29 miles to Brunswick where we will "fill her up" in the AM at Ocean Petroleum.We are hoping we can secure to the fuel dock overnight.
It was quite rough crossing St. Andrew's Sound and there was a bouy missing! Guess it was on the beach.

Arrived at Ocean Petroleum about 3:30PM. Three pleasant surprises. First, there was another DeFever already waiting at the dock - River Girl (Ron and Janice) from the IOP. Second, there was a really competent rock band rehearsing on the veranda of the fuel dock office - they were good! Third - one of the band members was the attendant and he was happy to fill us up, even though it was Sunday. We took on 475 gallons at $2.37 a gallon - great price. Now we can leave very early in the AM and (weather permitting) make it off-shore to Beaufort, SC.
