On the way back

We are heading back to Florida, Warren said we need to re-power.  I really don't want to keep putting money( that we don't have) into this boat so we will see what we'll do when we get back. I can't put pictures on the blog right now.... Wifi is to weak. We'll be here for a week at least.

Frazer's Hog

Today we are on a mooring at Frazer's Hog Cay and it's raining. The front that came though last night was not suppose to come down this far down when we left Marathon. Thank God Tom and Judy have weather XM. We had originally planned to go to Morgans Bluff to check in. That would have been a terrible place in North winds.
So I'll relax and use the wifi and check out the weather for next week.

  One the mechanical side of things Warren is very disappointed that the bracket on the new alternator broke. He really wants a new engine.  I don't think we will go pass the Exumas. That's OK, I will trust in his judgement on this. We talked about it and we can change our plans anytime we want.
We do thank The Lord for a safe passage!

Getting ready to head South

  Now that we are getting ready to head South we will start up the blog again. We had planned to leave last week but the new computer we bought was having major problems. We had to send it to TX to get fix, and we are just waiting for it to come back. We have been working on the boat and just living the dream. The weather down here in Marathon is great, its the best in all the US!!!! I did get the enclosure done on the hard dodger, boy was that an ordeal! The old sewing machine that I was using finally broke so my wonderful sister in law sent me her heavy duty one from the 60's and it did great. My Mother would be shocked that I finished a sewing project!
Warren put in an AIS (Automatic Identification system) it helps with vessel traffic. So we can see the vessels around us and see how fast they are moving.  He also did many other things and I did some painting and varnishing.
Hopefully I'll be posting about our travels soon, so please check back.
