Ok, ok, I've been busy having too much fun. Sorry I've fallen behind on the web page. We were so glad to leave St. Augustine. The weather was horrible the whole time. We had lots of wind and waves even tucked into the St. Augustine harbor. We sat for a week waiting for the wind to settle down all the while things just kept breaking. We felt jinxed. The best part of the trip to St. Augustine was the time spent with Mom.

With the wind still blowing 20+ we headed out down the inter coastal. Not a problem because we were moving downwind. We went about 200 miles in 3 days one of which was a 15 hour drive and we made 96 miles in one day. Doesn't sound like a lot but in the inter coastal that is a bunch.

We were excited to arrive and the weather in WPB was great. We anchored the boat just south of the Flagler Bridge and just off downtown WPB and Clematis Street. The downtown area has gone through a metamorphous and is a great place to hang out. Also, Adam and Cindy's boat that they work on was parked about 100 yards away. We stayed for about a week, visited family and friends and got the boat ready for the trip to Grand Bahamas Island. That meant getting a new refrigerator compressor delivered and installed. While we were at the dock I took the opportunity to go to the top of the mast to change out light bulbs and check the rigging.

While we were in WPB we saw Rick Price and Ken McConahay and John Barrett. Rick and Ken were work buddies from Atlanta and John is an old crony of Mikes. It was nice meeting and visiting with John. Also I'd like to mention nieces who I always love to see. Rebecca and Eva are the sweetest, smartest and cutest young ladies you could ever know. Well, it's off to the Bahamas.
