The winds died down a little bit today, and the sun was bright and strong. It was warm enough for Dahlia to run around in her underwear for the better part of the morning. We also got some small projects done on the boat, and hit West Marine again for a couple more replacement filters for the water maker.
It looks like we might have another weather window coming up this Wednesday, hopefully the forecast holds and we can cross. We are thinking about heading down to Ft. Lauderdale and crossing from there. It makes the crossing a little longer, but we will have the stream with us instead of heading into it, plus we have a few more wind options from there. The cat doesn't point into the wind that well, so if the winds remain SE at least we can sail from Ft. Lauderdale, whereas from here we would have to motor right into it.....yuk!
Barry, Marsha, and Debra (Barry's niece) braved the elements to come out to the boat for pizza tonight. There aren't many people who would volunteer to get into an inflatable dinghy to go have dinner! Deason went to get them and the pizza, he really likes the responsibility of being able to drive the dinghy on his own, and he does it well. It was really nice to have people out on the boat again!
