Chris Parker the weather guru has been talking about this strong cold front coming across tonight for a week now. Should be the strongest since the one that followed us into GTC 2 weeks ago and that one turned out to be "not bad".
We don't care much since we are still tied to a dock here at the Green turtle club Marina. Although many cruisers are taking heed and coming into this fine anchorage. The marina in fact filled up today. We will see.
The dinghy ran pretty poorly going to town for a few fresh provisions. Won't be going back till at least Saturday with this forecast.
I changed the plugs today and that seems to have revived it. I know it is running on borrowed time since it is 24 years old. That is a great age for a young person (notice I didn't say young woman to appease the PC police). It is an over the hill age for an outboard motor though. I'd rather not have to replace it this trip but I am prepared if need be.
Bobbie and Francie on Barefootin arrived today. They crossed from Fort Pierce yesterday and ran all night. Will visit later once they have rested up.
Last night the Gully Roosters - a local band billed as the Best in the Nation played here. They didn't start till 9pm or cruisers midnight so we only stayed an hour. It was a lot of fun. It is an environment that oldsters like ourselves can make absolute spectacles of ourselves dancing like fools and no one cares. A great venue for the "over the hill" crowd. Note no 24 year old's showed up!
The only thing else that is different is that the "no Seeum" varmints have been coming out in droves the last couple of evenings and afternoons for that matter. The OFF spray helps but I hate using it. They must be anticipating the strong winds coming so they are getting in a last munch before the winds arrive.
I hope they all BLOW AWAY!
