Last Push Before We Set Sail!

We are targeting Tuesday, January 12 to set sail. Every day is completely filled with last-minute projects, and we are busier than one-armed wallpaper hangers. So far, no show stoppers!

Today's big news is that I made radio contact with our weather router, Chris Parker. All next week looks good. There is a huge low-pressure system centered around Bermuda to the north of us, giving us the best light breezes we have ever seen on Curacao. Too bad one area has to get bad weather to steal our usual strong winds away!

Once we are underway, we'll have no Internet. Other things we will miss right away include the showers and flush toilets here at the marina, having a dock with a water hose and electric hookup right outside our door, daily long walks, and the camaraderie of the cruisers we have met here. More adventures will be in store in Florida, I am sure.
