Windy Windy

Man no let up in the wind last night. It actually started blowing harder after midnight. This morning it was gusting up to 25kts. I ran the wind generator awhile and it overheated because of too much wind! Crap!

There were several Sport fish style boats running through Hobe sound this morning and they just rocked our world with wake. There is no reason to raise such a wake near anchored boats. WE finally got fed up and left around 10am. Those boats are built to run in the ocean but their timid owners can't take it -- chicken I guess.

There was a lot of wind and an adverse current as usual. We needed to go less than 20 miles to North Lake Worth anchorage but we had to go through 6 bridge openings. Only 2 were on request the rest on a half hour schedules. Wasn't too bad and we were in a little after 1pm. A fair number of boats here but not as crowded as I have seen it in the past. It is still blowing 15+ with gusts to 20.

With all this wind not sure about a crossing tomorrow. We will have to wait and see in the morning. At any rate we need to let the seas calm down so it will be the afternoon if we do leave.
