Windy, Windy, Windy!

We are still waiting it out in Marathon. The East winds continue to blow and have reached higher than 30 knots. It is getting to all of us as we wait it out to go East to Miami and continue on North to our destinations for the Summer.

We have provisioned several times and keep eating up our stores while we wait. The sun has been shining with only a few thunderstorms rolling in. At least it has been warm which helps us handle all the strong winds. Unlike this past Winter when it was extreme cold with the winds. No sense in complaining, could be worse places to be stuck.

Today my cell phone broke but all is well, Verizon is sending me a new one, no charge to me. I'm having it sent to Islamorada. We don't need anything more to hold us up. Other than a few phone calls it was relatively easy to get a new phone.

As of today the weather looks like we will be able to leave on Saturday if we go on the bay side. I don't mind, I like that route, lots to see and many choices to anchor. Maybe we will be lucky and the weather won't throw us a curve. For now we are managing to keep busy doing things we would do when we arrive in Deltaville.
