Evening Ebb

Safely tied up at the fuel dock at Vinings Landing in Little Creek, Norfolk VA. One last scavenger hunt for a few things and then we're off. Talked with Dane, the weather router, this morning and we're heading for Bermuda in a few minutes. The only caveat is that we'll have a go/no go conversation tomorrow morning before we cross the stream in case the forecasts change.

Roasted Chicken with potato salad, cole slaw, chips, and bread and butter pickle chips for dinner last night. Scrambled eggs with cheese and salsa for breakfast and curried chicken salad wraps for lunch.

The plan is to be in Bermuda sometime Thursday or Friday depending on the winds and the weather.

Extra:	The boat's name comes from a poem by Robinson Jeffers: Evening Ebb The ocean has not been so quiet for a long while; five nightherons Fly shorelong voiceless in the hush of the air Over the calm of an ebb that almost mirrors their wings. The sun has gone down, and the water has gone [...] down From the weed-clad rock, but the distant cloud-wall rises. The ebb whispers. Great cloud-shadows float in the opal water. Through rifts in the screen of the world pale gold gleams, and the evening Star suddenly glides like a flying torch. As if we had not been meant to see her; rehearsing behind The screen of the world for another audience. More
