Brrrr.... I think it's about time...

Monday was a work around the boat kind of day. Wayne tried getting the windlass working and another pin broke off the control after he got it going and de-corroded… Not a very good design.

I wanted to run over to Publix for a few odds and ends and checked to see if Diane (Sharpie’s Dream) wanted to come along so we both ran up there and did some shopping. I found Cuban bread and sandwiches there! It’s so nice to have a car! The temperatures are going down to 26 tonight (actual temperature) and I checked to see what the temperatures in the Bahamas are too. The lows are in the 30s for the next couple of days and the highs there are in the 50s and maybe 60. I’m thinking that the Exumas definitely sound better than the Berrys!

Wayne working on the windlass

Today (Tuesday) Wayne got the windlass re-wired and I believe I've finally caught up on the blog for now.
The water tank is filled, holding tank pumped out, and we're about ready (except for the last minute stuff) for departure tomorrow. Mary Clare flies in tomorrow and we're hoping that we can meet up with Azaya somewhere soon. Sid (Quest) and Jon (Kasidah) were in the office this afternoon and they're heading for Lakeworth for the weather window on Thursday/Friday to cross. We'd also like to make that weather window but I don't know right now. We'll see. The plan is to head to W. Palm Beach tomorrow, then Lakeworth the following day. If we catch the weather window - good. If not, we'll get the next one!

We're not dressed or prepared to handle to many of these nights in the twenties

It's time to be moving on....

Bowsprit done and dressed in the Christmas Spirit!
