We're all loaded up and ready to push off for warmer climes. Unfortunately the weather isnt cooperating so we are still sitting in New Bern waiting for a storm front to blow through on 3 Jan. Looks like it will be departure on the 4th.
Finally underway and heading south. A bit bundled up for the chilly morning but the sun is out and the cockpit will start warming up as the sun shines in. We've got the mainsail up but there is not much wind so we're motoring down the Neuse River on smooth waters.
Temperature is in the high 40s, so not too bad and we will forego running the generator for heat. Will be sleeping in some warm clothes tonight. If it gets much colder we will have to crank up the generator so we can turn on the electric blanket.
