We got to Key West last Friday morning and have had pretty strong winds almost every day. Luckily for us, the winds have been from the East Northeast and we are being protected somewhat by the land and trees. Last night we saw 22 knots and it is supposed to start dying down. I sure wish those politicians would quit talking, it is screwing up the winds down here something fierce.
On Sunday I was able to get my CG Form 3300 sent in to the Coast Guard for approval to head to Havana. I talked with MST1 Wilson on the phone and he said he would expedite it since the weather looks great for a Friday crossing of the Gulf Stream to Cuba. Keeping our fingers crossed.
Just one more repair to make, my makeshift windlass remote that I made for about $10 fell into the anchor locker and filled with water so I have to make a new one. Shouldn't be too difficult, I am not changing the design.
