May 25. Patience

It's a beautiful day.  So was yesterday.  Why am I still here?

Here's the Marine Forecast for Pamlico Sound:
Today -NW winds 15 to 20 kt with frequent gusts to 25 kt early...diminishing to 10 to 15 kt late. Waves 2 to 3 ft...then 1 to 2 ft late. 
The direction we have to go from here is basically North but the rivers wander NW and NE.  It's all about weather and wind direction. So far we've made the right choice not to leave.  There were storms all over the area between here and Norfolk all week, even though we didn't see any here except on Thursday.

I spent some time with Kathy at her house and met Anne at The Bean with Anne on Thursday,  Julie and I enjoyed The Bean porch on Friday morning, all of which helped pass the time.

Sunday looks like the day to go, which has the advantage of arriving in Norfolk on Tuesday instead of Monday/Memorial Day when the river will be crowded with every sort of little pleasure boat - - kayaks, jet skis, powerboats towing kids on saucers - all hard to keep track of as they zip around among the tugs and barges.
