Raining once again today but.....

......when we look up the coast at what is developing with the recent Noreaster, we feel pretty lucky to be here in SC. The storm is certainly impressive as early winter storms go but if one is out in it, its not so amusing. We are following the blog of a couple that is heading south from New England. Thankfully they are holding up around NY as this one goes by.  One of the many lessons that has been reinforced on this trip is that one throws out a calendar and schedule as much as possible. The weather rules and if you decide to try to overrule.....well then be prepared to be challenged.

We are dockside here at Lightkeepers Marina. Thanks for the great referral Shell and Penny. It is as you described it. We have a courtesy car at our disposal, good wifi, hot and I mean hot showers in the cleanest bathrooms so far. Heat is running today to help to keep the cabin dampness under control. This has been a constant battle with the difference in air temp inside and out. Bette is reading with Minnie at her feet. I'm going to work on our ac battery charger which seems to be not cooperating right now. We have not been at a dock for so long, I really don't know how long the problem has existed but will continue to troublehoot.

Sunny skies are in the forcast for the next 4 days..........

We wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving holiday.

  1. Hi Ernie! My charger also died on our recent 2 week voyage (Heart Interface inverter/charger...1995 vintage). I thought the whole thing was dead, but finally discovered at the end of the large Positive cable a big fuse that was blown. I think that fuse is an ABYC requirement for large chargers, and you can't necessarily tell from looking at it if it is blown or not, but testing it revealed it was. If your charger really is dead...and it is a Heart Interface inverter/charger...let me know because I have a spare 2500 watt one sitting here that you can have. But first, look for a big fuse block and fuse along the 12 volt dc output cable.
