Ok; so here we are at Dowry Creek marina, near Belhaven, NC since Saturday late afternoon; rainy, windy, and getting colder. 20 to 30+ winds in the forecast, and wet. What'd we get: winds as high as 54mph, horizontal rain, 2' seas at the dock. Today, we continued to have rain & wind, altho' mild compared to last night. Found a bunch of window leaks that we suspected existed, but now we know for sure. All in all Scooter came thru the storm in pretty good shape, no torn canvas or excessive water in the bilges.
Tomorrow we'll try to refuel perhaps reposition in slightly deeper water, remove some canvas, etc in preparation for parking here until January. At the moment, we have a rental car set up; lots of stuff that is turning out to be in the way needs to get out of the boat. That third crew member is creating some space issues. Hopefully we can be underway by Wednesday. all depends on the boat in front of us. He has to move so we can get to the pumps.
Toured Belhaven today; neat ACE hardware store, nice older houses, and some fantastic Food Lion chocolate chip cookies. Peaceful day centered on staying warm and dry. We'll keep you posted as plans develop. Have a great Xmas &; a happy New Year. Thanks for stopping by.

Great finish to the start of an even greater adventure! May the road home be peaceful!
I'm finally all caught up with your adventure to date! that's quite the trip so far! Good luck with the holding tank issue and window leaks. Where are the leaks, windshield? Side windows? Portlights?
What's the prognosis with the shoulder?
Hope you enjoy a warm, dry and settled Merry Christmas and New Year!
