Still at Great Bridge, VA November 4, 2011

We are still here.  After checking the prop a few days ago it still had problems so we ordered a new on and had it installed on November 2nd.  So Jabberwocky was on the lift again!!

Shiny new prop

Mean while with the delay and major low pressure system formed and is moving across the North Carolina coast and we lost our weather window to move south on the ICW.  The weather should settle by Sunday and we will get going again and plan to be in Beaufort, NC on Wednesday November 9th.

So we are watching the boating world pass by the marina.

We will try to give a weather update tomorrow.  The big winds are coming from a high right behind the low.  The sounds we need to transit south of here are wide open to the forth coming NE winds.  The expect gusts to 50 tonight along the coast.  The map from the NOAA weather site below shows the areas of gale force winds in purple and storms force winds in violet on the ocean for tonight and tomorrow.
