UPDATE: Andrea – Out-a-Here

Noon Today at Brunswick Landing Marina

Tropical storm Andrea paid us a little visit here in Brunswick, Georgia yesterday and last night. She started yesterday morning by delivering lots of rain and continued delivering the rain until the late afternoon.  The wind came in the afternoon and continued through this morning. The max wind we clocked was 38 kts and experience sustained winds in the high twenties to low 30’s.  The eye of the storm came over us after midnight.

It was a good day to sit by the grill and slow cook some baby back pork ribs with Bill on “Memento Mori” and his visiting sister Carolyn. Good company, good food and a little wind and rain. Not a bad day.

We’re glad Andrea is through with us. To our friends up north, hold onto your hats and pull out the rain gear.

UPDATE: Back to Brunswick, Ga.

We arrived in Brunswick, Ga. at Brunswick Landing Marina on Friday, May 31, 2013. We were greeted on the dock by Sherry and Cindy and given a warm welcome back. These ladies always make it feel great to come home to Brunswick for hurricane season.  As an added surprise we had dinner with our sailing buddies Sandy and Ray McCoy on s/v “Megerin” and Dave and Laurie on s/v “RJ Greenstone”. Ray and Sandy  were passing through via car headed north to Pittsburgh, PA for the summer after moving “Megerin" to the British Virgin Islands. They flew in from the BVI and picked up their car Ft. Pierce. It was great to see them and hear about their adventure. What a trip they had sailing from Miami all the way to the BVI in the Caribbean.
