No Vessels, No Wind, No Waves

At Sea

We feared that there may be too little wind to sail out here. We were right. As soon as the sun set last night the wind stopped, and it hasn't come back yet. We had to motor all night.

Instead of staying out for 48 or 72 hours, I think we are going to stay only 24 hours. We'll put in at the Savannah River. We'll get to see the only portion of the ICW that we never saw before -- the section from Savannah to Charleston including Beaufort, SC. After that, the weather calls for northerly winds for the next 4 days, so we'll stay on the ICW.

When does the moon look like a slice of pie? Last night. Let me try to describe it by words. We had a half moon last night. The line between light and dark portions is at about 35 degrees. As the moon rose over a very calm sea, the lower half of it was cut off from my sight at an angle of 0 degrees. Therefore, what I saw was a triangle with two straight edges and one rounded edge -- in other words, the shape of a slice of pie.
