Been on the move again. Left Marathon two weeks ago went to Miami with Desiree and Suzie. Paul came on Fri. Desiree and Suzie left on Sat. Paul and I hung out in South Beach Sat. Sun we went into the ocean and sailed to Lake Worth. Got the crap kicked out of us. Double reefed main and jib rolled in a half and the rail was still in the water. I got sea sick. Got into Lake Worth inlet around five and I was ready to sell the boat. Went through four squalls with 30 knot winds. I found out about elephants on the horizon in the Gulf Stream. They scare the hell out of me. We made nine knots most of the day though. More on that later. The wind has been coming out of the NE for the rest of the time so we headed up the ditch. Anchored in Vero, Titusville, Datona, and now Saint Augustine. Tomorrow the wind is suposed to change to the east and calm to 10 knots. If so we wil go out of the inlet here and go back in in Fernandina Beach. If it continues we will go inside to Fernandina
and try to get a day sail in on Sat before Paul has to leave on Sun. We thought we would get at least as far as SC but that is the way it goes with weather.
I'll elaborate more about the sail when I get plugged in to a marina in Fernandina. I have to stay thare foer a few days for laundry and resupply and the first real shower in two weeks and change oil.
Remind me to tell you about the motor cutting out while we were going through the first bridge and anchoring in the middle of the channel to change the fuel filter.
Waiting for the wind to calm down now so that when the tide changes at 10:00 PM we won't wrap the anchor line around the keel. Did I tell you I am ready to get off the boat for a while.
