If not waiting on parts, it's waiting on weather. We were hoping to be in Marathon (Florida Keys) long enough to get parts to fix our broken head and a couple of other minor things. Our week in the Boot Key Harbor mooring field was up last Saturday.
But then it appeared that there was a fairly strong cold front coming the following Monday & Tuesday, so we decided to renew for another week. Besides the NCAA's been on and this is the first time we've actually seen the NCAA tournament for years!

The decision was appreciated last night as the forecast called for 25-35 knot winds overnight and it certainly didn't disappoint. We turned off our wind generator and took the kayaks out of their racks and lashed to the deck. The wind rocked us to sleep and we were grateful we'd made the decision to stay.
Unfortunately there are only a few anchorages in the Keys that are well protected for weather from all directions so we're still waiting. It's looking like thunderstorms for Sunday and right now we're scheduled to leave Saturday, so we may renew for another day or two.
And until then, it's chilly here and WINDY... but we have sun and no snow. So life is still good! A bit boring sometimes when it's so windy that no one feels safe leaving their boat, but still good! :)
