We slept in until almost 0900 this morning, holy! The temp had dropped again - only 12C late in the afternoon and still windy although the tornado watch was dropped early this morning and gale warnings downgraded to small craft advisory. That means it was only blowing 20+ kts in the marina this afternoon. LOL.

Jorge and I concluded this morning it was definitely the ICW for the next couple of days. This nasty weather system stretches from Nova Scotia to half way down the Florida coast. We are hoping to leave the marina at 0700 tomorrow and do approximately 50 nm. Of course that will depend on what kind of winds we encounter but for the most part at least the current will be with us. We estimate doing 5 nm per hour so it will be a long day!

After lunch the dockmaster/part owner drove us into town. We had decided to buy more of the Argentine wine we discovered the other night. Unfortunately the store only had 3 bottles left. Too bad, we were going to buy a case.

After arriving back at CS'ta Time, Jorge worked a bit on the new weather system that he has to install and then we started preparing the boat for travelling. Lucky for me I did inside work and he was the one outside in the cold, yes wearing a winter jacket and toque again. I am sooooo glad we are at a marina with electricity and can use the electric heater rather than the Espar diesel heater. We keep the temp in the boat around 22C.

I like the name on this boat!
 
It was an early night.
