Blowing in the Wind

Windy, Windy, Windy -- boy the night really piped up. It was not too bad but it was difficult to sleep because of all the noises coming from the enclosure last night. It was definitely blowing mid 20s around midnight and for a couple of hours but then settled down to just a nice breeze by morning. Surprisingly the morning was not as forecast at all. Shouyld have been blowinbg hard but was not.

We took a nice walk on the Bluff House Beach and the Sea of Abaco was just flat - no white caps. Surprising. We took some pictures of Jill and Wayne around the Bluff House with the Sea of Abaco as a back drop then over to the Green Turtle Club to see what was on the menu for dinner tonight. We just feel like splurging tonight.

The weather forecast has the winds moderating but still strong most of the week. With a direction of NE - E it will be okay to island hop so we will most likely leave early in the morning tomorrow. High tide is 6:45am so I need to be through the entrance by 7:30am. Plan is to anchor off the Settlement here and do a minor provisioning run then head up to Manjack Cay for a day or so, then Powel Cay for another day or so. Depending on the weather we will either head to the USA after that or come
back to GTC and await another weather window. Chris is saying don't go till the weekend.

This afternoon I jerry jugged 40 gallons of water and 12 gallons of diesel to top everything off. Then a little shopping at the Green Turtle Club gift shop (Karen's idea) then back on the boat for showers and get ready for dinner out tonight. Ohhh they have a dress code here and shorts are fine but need a colored shirt. I believe I have one but it is wrinkled!! Maybe most will come out by dinner time.
