At last, a good sunrise |
The weather has taken yet another turn for the worse. Friday and Saturday are forecast with a 100% chance of rain with thunderstorms on Friday followed by 29 mph winds on Saturday. Going south is not advised with 8 to 10 ft seas off shore so we're now aiming for Monday for a trip down the coast, the days keep slipping by. So far we're still looking at a 1/28 arrival date in Key West but that requires a straight shot from Miami to Caesar's Creek to Marathon to Key West and of course the cooperation of the weather - all it has to do is to just perform as predicted, something the weather somehow finds hard to do (tell us which way your want to go so we can turn the wind into your face!)
Typical Florida fixed docks here |
We're at Loggerhead marina just above Lantana tonight for the next few days to wait out the storms and while we're at it, have the outboard repaired too. Sunday appears to be okay for going south but who knows, the weather has been very variable this year!

We are anchored in Lake Sylvia and the wind is howling around us but the lake has barely a ripple. Not going ashore today and maybe not tomorrow. Our trawler is swinging very little and not rolling at all. Thankful to have made it to this very safe anchorage. Good luck fixing you motor.
We love Hoolie but we have to get him ashore three times a day. We've done that in wind and rain at times but not without a motor. Can't row against 20 it winds. The motor's in the shop not, hopefully being fixed.
