No pictures today. I was hoping for a rainbow after the thunderstorms, but no such luck.
3 AM last night a nasty thunderstorm with an absolutely amazing light show, but only if you're not afraid of lightning dancing all around you and a metal mast sticking 55 feet up in the air. Gusts to 50, dismasted a boat in the harbor. All day today, every few hours another red line on radar and nasty thunderstorms.
But finally the radar looks clear at 8 PM & hopefully tonight will be quiet. We were planning to leave tomorrow morning, but maybe we'll stay one more day for the weather to settle....
Then sail on down the Keys ... still hoping for Boca Grande, the Marquesas and the Dry Tortugas and some time in each! Keep your fingers crossed for settled weather!
Still having fun and the boat's had several good fresh water washes today - no salt left aboard except in a salt shaker! All is good!
