A couple of boats pulled into the anchorage last night. One of the boats was hauled out at Sailcraft when I left Oriental a month ago. I used to see this couple at the Silos sometimes. Her name was Donna. They left early this morning and the second boat not far behind. I scrambled around and bought a new battery to help start this engine on these cold mornings. 25 miles of motoring and I am anchored snug against the marsh in Kilkenny Creek. The sound of rain on the deck is a surprise. Having a wi-fi connection is a surprise. I am going to dinghy in for a jug of fuel in the morning and push on. I will be in the middle of nowhere tomorrow night.
