Evacupiphanation

Gonna head upriver with Epiphany today, find a little creek, and let Charley blow by tomorrow. Forecasted winds for Saturday here doubled in the 6 hours I slept this morn - now 30-40, gusts to 60, from a direction that will batter my marina. :shock:

Time to bug out for a couple of days.

Sorry to hear about the worsening conditions. Last year I pulled my boat for the season in mid September when a hurricane came up this way. Luckily it was not as bad as predicted.

Good luck on your trip.

Be safe . . . Gil

Old Charley got very powerful since I looked last. Category 4! 145 mph! what a spinning top that is!

Good luck everybody. My Sun Cat is on its trailer next to the garage...I guess I will see what I can to with tarps etc, and tying it down...but I really do hope that dang hurricane goes out to sea where it belongs!

What River is it that you are going up, Kurt?

[CaptK]

The Waccamaw River, which is also the ICW on that section. My sister has a house which sits on the old rice fields in Pawleys Island on the river, and I'll put down a few anchors in her little creek there. It's about as wide as Epiphany is long, has a mud bottom, and since the storm is getting here at low tibe, I think she'll be protected also by the banks on either side of her.

Turning around and getting out Sunday may be interesting though.

Hey, I hope you don't get transubstantiated today! Looks like Winyah Bay and Murrell's inlet might be the target.

Best wishes. We are just getting rain starting right now.
