Stuck, stuck, stuck

We were hoping to leave today, and we didn't, it was windy in the morning, we might have made it had we decided to go in the afternoon, but we didn't. Tomorrow was going to be better, it's not. It will be very windy again. The worst part is leaving Nassau to the Berries, where we have to cross the Tongue of the Ocean, which is open sea. Once we are in Chubb we have about 80 miles on the banks which can be done even if it's windy. And then we have the Gulf Stream. If we do not leave tomorrow, and it seems very unlikely, then our window is being slammed on our faces and we might have to stay stuck even longer. Not good.
As it is, we will leave Saturday very early and do as much as we can, overnights and all and see what happens. However if the weather gets too nasty we may have to stay stuck and I will fly to Miami on the 29th.
Hopefully it will not come to that!
