I'm Ready to Go Now!

The plan was to be in St. Vincent today. But the weather has a way of changing plans. 9-10' seas and 20-30 knots of wind combined to have our weather guru, Chris Parker, call it "really rough" out there. He recommended waiting until next Thursday.

So...another week in St. Lucia. Not that it's a bad thing but...

When I get ready to move on, I get really ancy with being stuck. I feel a little claustrophobic.

Typically I fight reality by trying to find some forecast that agrees with how I want the weather instead of how it really is. Oh well. That's a losers game.

It's just 30 miles or so from here to St. Vincent. I know though that in really crappy weather and sea state that 1 mile can feel interminable.

This morning we went diving this morning with some other cruisers. If we stay busy, the extra week here will fly by.

I'm going to customs this afternoon and extending our stay. Man vs. weather. The weather wins!

We began babystepping into the cruising life when we moved to the coast of Wilmington, NC. Rob Larkin became our sailing mentor. We bought our first sailboat-a 30' Rawson. Later we traded the Rawson on Banjo. We started cruising full time September 2012. [...]
