Andrea

Day #46: Here it is June 6th and Andrea, the first tropical depression of 2013, is bearing down on us. This morning we bounced around tethered to a mooring ball as several squalls passed through. With predictions of 60kt winds we abandoned our mooring and sought shelter in Fernandina Harbor Marina. Every fender aboard Nellie is now in service and she's surrounded by a spider web of dock lines. I'm not sure what the proper protocol is while waiting for a storm to hit--we ordered a pizza and drank some beer.

Today we moved a whole 300 yards from the mooring field to the dock. Our total distance traveled remains 747nm. DBH
