    Nice day at Giant’s Tomb yesterday. South wind put sterns to shore.

    A little proof that pancakes can be done on a kuuma if you adjust the regulator.

    We've had some pretty intense thunderstorms lately.  They run down the eastern side of the Appalachian mountains with some force.   With lake levels down several feet we didn't feel comfortable riding out the storm in our preferred protected cove.  Not enough depth to safely drag more than a few feet.  

    So we hoisted anchor and took off motoring into it sticking to the leeward side of the channels to stay  somewhat out of the predicted 60+mph winds.  The boat was still heeling a bit, a few times I had to change my heading into the wind so as not to scare the admiral. 

    Lasted maybe half hour tops.   Saw plenty of boats rushing to the boat ramps but stuck in the water until it passed due to huge waves.   Not far from our location a guy was boating alone and rushing the ramp.  Between the wind and waves he was tossed off of his boat with no PDF.  Another boater saw him despite very limited visibility in the downpour. Sadly it was too late by the time he was pulled into the other boat.


    Our boating laws require a pdf for each person in arms reach.   In Florida I believe they only have to be in the boat.   Had he been wearing a pdf he likely would have had a fun story to tell.

    Scary story and good lessons. Glad you came out OK. Storms like this usually give you a few minutes warning -- that's when I put on a PFD (auto-inflatable at a minimum). If the phone and the VHF NOAA alarm are going off, then it's my fully outfitted Mustang with PLB, portable VHF, etc.

    Very sad to hear.  I boat way too much to not wear my PFD while moving (or in a storm).  At least you were smart enough to stay away from other boats and ride it out. 

    Cool picture!

    I think if fl as long as the boat next to you has a pfd your ok...look at YouTube at some of our inlets...crazy..sitting on the bow...getting stuffed in waves with none...I'm surprised there are nor more deaths. Heart goes out to this family....,GB.

    How are New Yorkers handling the heat of Savannah this time of year?  I've been all over the islands of SC and Georgia but Savannah is never a place I've stopped.  It is on the bucket list.  

    It's almost time for some drum fishing!

    @aero3113 I hope the weather stays good for you guys.  About 2 weeks ago we were in the middle of a heat wave and some of our coastal beaches were Caribbean blue rather than their usually green/brownish color.   Very rare for our area.   Those coastal (low country as we call it) areas are by far my favorite of our state.  If you haven't had a chance to do any history tours I highly suggest them.

    Found this sifting through the sand at Tybee Island. Anyone know what it’s from? About an inch or so long and narrow.
