Windy

After four days of up to 35 knots of wind on the mooring, we are more than ready to leave the Northeast!

Now we just need a break in the weather to escape. Looks like Sunday may give us that opportunity. In the meantime here's a quick overview of our work list to get ready. Most of these are done

Consult with weather routers
Shop for provisions

Install Bimini
Park car and trailer for winter
Obtain health certs for dog

Lots of stuff to keep us busy  and happy while we wait!
