We have sold our car. Our final delay is that we are waiting for a break in the weather. We are supposed to have a low in the mid 40s tomorrow and a high in the 60s. With strong fronts like this of course wild seas come to. It looks like we may have a break in the weather on Sunday.
We are going to day sail to Destin and then to Panama City. After that shallow water means that we have to make a 150 mile passage to the next port near Tampa. Our first over night passage.
With no car my 73 year old Dad made a 14 mile round trip on his fold up bicycle to pay for a sticker for our tender. I am proud of him.
Terry will be the official skipper since he is the only one that navigates right now.
Ski is Terry's father and will be the first mate since he is the only other sailor.
Debbie, is Terry's wife and will be officially a swab, but she is looking for promotion. [...]
JoAnn is the matriarch of the group and while her sailing titile will be swab she does have 2 votes on the destination committee. The skipper can overrule for safety reasons, but if JoAnn can get just one other person to vote with her that will be where we go.
Princess is our Boston Terrior. Her position on the boat is obvious.
Misty is our miniature chihuahua. She will be our translator in Spanish Speaking Countries.
