Thursday, January 21, 2010 Velcro Beach, FL

We managed to pull in parts of Chris Parker this morning on our little SSB Handheld. Couldn’t hear a lot of the boats or where they were from, but for a little handheld it was interesting to be able to pull in people from Little San Salvatore. I hope that we’ll be able to pull in some weather when we get further out.
The DC-to-DC adapter for the computer seems to be working rather well! I sat in the cockpit charging and working on the computer during the morning. Wayne retuned the mast and later we got the Spartite plug back into the partners (the hole in the deck that the mast goes into).

The wind started blowing pretty strong and getting cloudy but not much in the line of rain happened this evening. We tried using the grill and it actually lit and stayed lit in the wind. Unfortunately our old rail adapters for the smaller grill we have doesn’t seem to want to hold the grill up. Soooo…. The chicken was taken back off the grill and I fried it up in the galley. So we had chicken and German potato salad for dinner.

There’s supposed to be some weather coming tonight or tomorrow. Then we’ll try and head to Peck Lake the next day, then Lake Worth (West Palm Beach) the next. From there, we’ll wait for a weather window to cross over to Grand Bahamas and check in at Lucaya??? Like last year – Cruiser’s plans are still written in Jello.
