Windmill Harbour Marina - at a dock and dinner with friends

We go enjoy good meals out with friends! Sam and Rev are at the right

We started out in good spirits with light winds but that didn’t last. About half way to Hell Gate the wind picked up to 15 to 20 kts on the nose (of course!) and maintained that force all the way to Windmill Harbour Marina. It was only predicted to be around 10 kts.  When I looked at the various weather models on PredictWind, the one that came the closest was PWE which is the PredictWind modification of the European Model The wind so far has always been higher than predicted this trip north. 

A meal should also be presented as a work of art, in addition to being outstanding - the YC meets that standard 

We were invited out to dinner tonight by Sam and Rev from What Yacht to Do. The Southern Carolina Yacht Club is located at  the marina and it is outstanding! It is impossible to get anything other than a great meal there. The interior is out of a magazine of fine dining and the food lives up to the billing. If you’re even in Windmill Harbour, be sure to have a dinner there!

We will be there two days and have already planned a repeat meal at the yacht club, it’s that good. Thursday is a rest day before continuing on to Steamboat Creek at an anchorage there. It has a public dinghy dock so it’s a good stop for someone with a dog.
