Day 8 Duplin River - Thunderbolt Marina , GA

April 22nd - 66 miles - Woke in the morning to find that all was well. It was an amazingly peaceful night. Once the storm passed all was quiet and the boat had barely rocked. One thing we did notice through the night was the current runs rapidly through that anchorage. We could hear the prop turning which was something new  to experience. As we were preparing to raise our anchor we noticed many of the other vessels beginning to follow suit.
The sky was warm and todays forecast predicted more thunderstorms later in the day. We were one of the first boats to head out but soon Diamond Girl was crossing our wake.  Our stop today was going to be the Thunderbolt Marina. As the day was progressing, the clouds were building. This was going to be a race again. Well, we made it, we could hear the thunder but the skies remained dry.
 Last year at this time we shared Bud & Elaine's  wedding anniversary at Tubby Tankhouse in Thunderbolt. Well guess what, this year we enjoyed doing the same thing. Bud told us they were married 40 + years, they live on a boat and they still like one another. We had a wonderful evening with the both of them. Thanks Bud & Elaine! Are we starting a new tradition??
