Burrrrrrrrrrr - it was still cold BUT today looks like the end of the real cold stuff. Weather guessers are saying this is the end of the Artic fronts as the weather patterns are to shift this week. Hope so as we are sure the rest of our Texas/Flordia Friends are. While we would have rather been down the ICW (east that is) farther, we have enjoyed staying here, got a lot done, and we survived the cold probably a lot better than if we would have been on the hook somewhere or moving between anchorages. We looked at the calendar this morning and decided that we are using next week to clean up any unfinished projects and the boat especially the engine room. Will visit with our friends that are returning to Seabrook today in their trawler Lindsey from a trip to Flordia. They promise lot of info we can use on our trip but we will be glad to see them and to listen to their tales (all true of course). Going to provision out on the 18th, take the boat out with the nieces for a test run the 19th and then wait for a weather pattern that will get us through LA. So NY (sometime) here we come.
This last week found us trying to fix the bimini. Found that on the boat it is best to limit sewing to repairs of an emergency nature. Not enough room etc. etc. etc. Wound up taking the complete bimini to a loft to get repaired and restitched. Got most of the planned chores done and a couple we thought were done re-done as we added things doing new chores.
We are getting ready to go again. Hope all is well with everyone and it is getting warmer whereever you are.
Steve & Carol
