On the Hook in Beaufort, S.C.

Arriving in Beaufort, S.C., Thursday at , we anchored near the City Marina. All seemed well until. . . we tried the A.C. but….. no A.C.!! It was 96 degrees and 122 heat index (in the salon!) and no wind. While troubleshooting the problem, a fresh breeze came up and that was good until we heard thunder and the sky really opened up. Torrents of rain struck like bullets driven by wind gusts of 42 mph. The good news is the anchor held and the day cooled a little but the bad news is we still don’t have A.C.
It was a hideously hot night in South Carolina.
Today we ordered a new pump motor and Mike will repair the A.C. tomorrow (Saturday).
Louis made an appointment at the doggy spa for a hair cut while Mike and I migrated from store to store trying to stay cool in their A.C. 
Dinghied back to Sea Dream and napped in the heat. There’s a light breeze now but it’s still 89 and extremely humid inside. We’re literally sweating gallons!
We will be in Beaufort until Wednesday waiting for mail.
