Staying Put

Day 16
Jan 17, 2016 Sunday
Cumberland Island
ICW FL/GA border

We had winds up to 40mph during the night and that continued during the day.  We think our anchor came up and reset during the night.  It was a rocky and cool night and day today. The weather looks like we will continue to have several nights of sub-freezing temps.  Our friends who had planned to arrive Sunday stayed put today and think tomorrow might be their day to move on.  We think that as well. We would like to have access to laundry facilities and dump trash, take on water etc. 

It is sunny and windy so our free energy should be doing great guns. It is warming the cockpit/sunroom up too.  We sat up there and read and actually got hot. this afternoon. Thermometer said 78. The cabin never got above the mid 60s all day and we had to use the Little Buddy heater in the evening. 

If all goes as we hope tomorrow we will go on to Fernandino FL and go in a slip and use their heat and facilities and maybe even a trip to the grocery store.
