At about 70 miles south of Charleston, we are exiting the Gulf Stream although there is a current of about .5 knots still in our favour. The winds are light and we hoist all sails until about 9pm, when large thunderclouds appear to advance towards us. Lightenings illuminate the skies in the west and darkeness makes it difficult to detect in what direction the storm clouds are moving…knowing how strong Tstorms related winds can be, we put the mainsail down and keep only both jibs up…the clouds advance, move North and East..so we decide to head back south for a bit, to wait and see. When a bit of rain starts falling, we put our _oh!so hot rainsuits_ on…this back and forth dance lasts 2 hours with the clouds mostly disintegrating above us and no rain! By that time, it’s 11pm and we are tired…usually we take naps in the early evening! Oh well, that’s passage cruising…the winds are now from the west between 10 and 15 knots and the remainder of the night is comfortable. In the early morning, dead calm hits and we must motor the remainder 20 miles to Charleston with up to 1.5 knots of current against us. It seems to take forever and we finally are anchored at 14h00! The air temperature is 35C and there is no wind….
