Windy, windy, windy

About 25 boats arrived from Florida between Friday and Saturday to this marina, and we are all still here. The wind is howling at over 30 knots and nobody is budging. Actually a small trawler ventured out this morning but immediately returned. To go into the banks you have to leave the marina, sail about a mile into the ocean to get back into the channel that leads you into the banks. And that passage looks really nasty right now. Hopefully tomorrow will be better and we'll be able to leave. If not we might have to stay put until Tuesday. We could be stuck in a much worse place. The marina is nice, it has nice facilities, a gym, a couple of restaurants, a heated pool and of course a lovely beach. But of course although it is warm it's not beach weather. So we are doing housekeeping stuff. Sweet Tides are working on putting their room back together after it got all wet during the crossing - they inadvertently left the hatch open and the waves washed over the boat all the time. Juan is waxing and cleaning - when it stops raining - and I am writing my blog. As soon as I am done I just might go and take a nap!
