Hilton Head Island: record cold and a very small boat

 


A screenshot taken of the Apple Weather App on my iPhone this morning.  I realize that it is cold in most of this country, but it is more unusually cold in the South.  I believe the previous record low for this day in Hilton Head was 34ºF.  Fortunately as you can see this is not going to last long and soon the island will return to paradise.


I don’t often watch sailing videos, but I thank Mike for a link to this one about a very small boat, which despite its size, with a gimbaled stove, plumbing, and a few through hull fittings, is in some ways more complicated than GANNET.  In the video she sails better than I would have expected and I particularly enjoyed the father and son sharing the experience.  

Who knows how I would have turned out if I had good parents?  Perhaps less.
