All Packed Up and Nowhere To Go

12.31.10

Well, we are all provisioned up and ready to roll but are still waiting on a window! It is very frustrating to get everything ready and then sit and wait. I think especially so when you have been waiting for 3 weeks. But, this is the week to go. Winds have been steadily from the East/Southeast and are going to continue to be that for the next few days. We are leaving sometime between today and Sunday and heading a bit further North up the Keys so that when the right window opens, we are closer and able to just make a dash for it. The problem is that the jump-off island is vulnerable to the East - directly where the currently 20knot winds are blowing. We would be in for quite a rough few days at anchor if we left too soon!
We have said all of our goodbyes, only to realize we would rather spend New Year's Eve here in the harbor with people we know. So, Happy New Year's to everyone and stay tuned as we wait to cross the Stream.
