Living on the hook

Everyone knows that living the normal way involves having the security of being in your home when it is not too nice out.  It gets cold and snowy…….stay in and maybe light the fireplace.  If its rainy…watch a game on TV.  Either way the "home" concept is for the most part comfortable and reassuring.  On Nati (our home) there are times when it get a little dicey and we just can't turn on the ball game and sit back.  With a moving, floating home, when it gets a little windy, stormy or inclimate you can't just go away.  The opposite is actually what takes place.

Here it comes

Note, we are right at the edge


Check out the shelf cloud


















The above clouds came through Myrtle Beach last night and at our anchorage we got a birds eye view of the storm going right past us.  Granted we closed everything up and even had the instruments running along with the engines when the storm line came at us.  But……….just 25kts of wind for a few minutes and NO rain!  We were ready but this time we were spared.


So what else is there to do but watch a sunset,  cook our shrimp and enjoy a good bottle of Bordeaux courtesy of the Chief and Millie.  Thanks guys!
