Happy Thanksgiving! We decided to stay at the marina for a few days. We woke up at 5am and the NW wind we had hoped for had already gone past and the winds were N-NE. If we had gone, it would have been rough out of the inlet, and we would have had a 20+ knot head wind for our 40 mile trip to Great Sale Cay. Rather than fight for it we gave in and stayed. Unfortunately, there are no good anchorages that can protect us from these North winds, so we are sort of forced to stay here, not that I am complaining. This front seems to be moving quickly, and it looks like we will have good winds by at least Sunday.
The good part about us staying, is I got to cook the Thanksgiving meal I had hoped to. If we had gone, I probably wouldn't have managed it. I am still getting sea sick, unless I spend all of my time outside while traveling. It would have been impossible for me to cook while we were underway! Its amazing the havoc a fetus can wreak on a grown person.
As for the rest of the day, we swam in the pool, walked on the beach, and caught up on some sleep. I love the turkey coma! And Uncle Bobby....you were right! As much as we miss all of our friends and family, Thanksgiving does taste the same......if not better in paradise!
