Pedicab Man

Forget global warming, the weather forecast is crap. Next 5-6 days miserable. Why are we doing this thing? So it was time to change plans again [okay, you can stop laughing]. So after much discussion we are now headed back towards Charleston [notice I didn't say to charleston because with this crew you never know].

We passed St. Marys pass about 1:30 after a 9 am start. There is a submarine base in St. Marys so lots of security, we saw 2 Coast Guard boats with outboard motors [made in Japan] each with two fifty calber machine guns. when we passed the sub base a nice young man in an outboard boat asked our business and we told him we were heading north on the ICC and he said good luck and not to turn left into the base. We kept cooking.

At mile marker 700 the chart calls the area Cabin Bluff. There is a private retreat there that has a very nice dock which we pulled into but were told we could spend the night. I explained we were having fuel problems [mostly true since we've had to change fuel filters every day] and they let us spend the night.

After a dinner that I put together and a few drinks we cranked the generator which ran for about 20 minutes and crapped out because of clogged fuel filter. We said to hell with and went to bed at 8 pm. I could sleep worring about the generator and neither could Paddy so I was relieved when he got up about midnight to fix the generator problem which I helped him accomplish [not a bad job since the engine room was the warmest place on the boa].

Cabin Bluff is Woodbine, GA which is famous for CS Powder used in the Blue bombs dropped on the VC during that war [isn't chemical warfare againest the Geneva Convention?].
