Propane delay

Nothing truer than the saying that the only animal to hit the same obstacle twice (and thrice) is man. The last time we were in Nassau we bought our propane at a marina. You leave the bottle in the morning and the next day you pick it up. That much we rembered, what we hadn't remembered but has come back very clearly now, is that the next morning is a very broad concept. We had planned to leave by ten, as soon as we had picked up the propane and fueled. Well the propane arrived at two so we stayed one more day. While we waited Idette and I spent 4 hours at the starbucks using the internet. I couldn't stand so much coffee after a while. In the afternoon Idette and Mike went downtown with the other couple that crossed with us while we slept, read, and then Juan fixed a few things around the boat.
Now we are waiting for the Swetyes who are coming over for dinner (last night it was at their boat) and hopefully tomorrow at 8 we'll take off.

While you waited around for the gas bottle we sank in snow!! What would you had rather done? jajajajaja

Sabian que a Nelson lo contrataron para la reunion del BID. Comienza el 1ero. de Febrero y hasta el 15 de abril. Se jodio con sus planes de ir a verlos. Yo, sin embargo, sigo con ganas de hacerlo, y si me quieren recibir me gustaria ir en Marzo, tipo cuando Nelson este en Miami en la reunion. Cuando planean cruzar a La Florida? Y los chicos se van a quedar ahi esperandolas o siguen camino al Norte? Yo me ofrezco para venir con ellos y ayudarlos en lo que pueda (cocinar, amurar, darles chachara para que no se duerman cuando precisen estar despiertos, etc). I am game para cualquier cosa, incluso para que prefieran venirse sin compania. Cuando puedan manden un email o llamen por telefono. Los requete echamos de menos!!

Hello Zingaros and Sweet Tides. Had the first real snow fall yesterday, 2-3 inches but not a drop east of the Annacostia River. It is lovely to see the snow out the many windows of the "winter residence". What a priviledge. Take care and thanks for the updates. We all follow they very closely. Joel
