07 February 2010 | Anchored outside of Boot Key Harbor
Terry/ 60s rolly and windy
Today we told everybody we were going sailing, because we keep telling people that we are going to the Bahamas and then we do not make it. So we are now sailing towards the Bahamas. Tomorrow we move up to Rodriguez Key. The problem is that a weak cold front is going to move in unexpectedly on Tuesday. Time will tell if we can find a window.
If we cannot we are going to try to get a ball in boot key harbor. http://www.ci.marathon.fl.us/index.aspx?NID=26 It is supposed to be a lot of fun and we can wait there for an opening.
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.
