Day 295 – at Southport Marina, Southport, NC - April 26, 2012

We spent today taking it easy.  We relaxed around the marina and the boat in the morning and then walked into Southport for lunch and a bit of shopping.  When we returned to the boat the sky was beginning to get dark and the weather radar showed that rain was coming.  We watched an amazing lightning display from the back porch of Boreas and then the hail started.  Fortunately the hail was only pea-sized and didn’t last for very long.  The hail was followed by on and off rain showers for the remainder of the afternoon and into the night.

It was extremely windy all day today and we were glad to have a secure spot in the marina.  We are hoping for less wind tomorrow so that we can head over to Bald Head Island and spend one night in the marina on the island.

you can just barely see a couple of pieces of hail on our dock

dark clouds = rain and thundershowers
