where's the sun & fun?.....................from K

We've been tied to the side of the canal in Great Bridge since Monday waiting for the nor'easter to blow through. Today we're gonna motor down the ditch in the rain regardless. Our goal is to make it to Coinjock. Doing the ICW has honed new skills for us like keeping our boat "still" while waiting for a bridge to open. P's getting pretty good at jockeying the boat around, adjusting to the push of the current and dodging other sailboats who are in the same predicament. It reminds me of trying to get a herd of frisky horses to stand still in a line - there's always one who has to antagonize the others.
Despite the cold, wet weather, it's good to be back on Senara. We brought a friend this time - Mr. Heater (the actual name on the box!). He's getting a workout - and so is our raingear. I'm dreaming of a ray of sunshine tomorrow...
