The rest of the crew is in transit back this way and I guess that means it's time to go. The seas are down to an 8ft swell today and supposed to be down to 5-6 by tomorrow. It's not great, but since there is another front headed this way it's as good as we get. We might be out tonight, or early am tomorrow. Then it's another 28hrs. Our window should be *just* big enough that we might make it up to our turn into the Sound as the seas build again. It won't be pretty.
So I have been down in the engine room prepping for getting under way again. I remounted a poorly mounted sump pump, cleaning out some of the raw water strainers, and poking around looking for other things that are just not right. There's always something that needs fixing on a boat.
Yes, Steve, I am in my element!

Sorry the weather wouldn't play nice. Stay safe and good luck on the rest of the trip!

I love the feeling that at some particular time you're doing exactly what you were built for. The patriarch for 'The Flying Walendas' said, "Life's when you're on the wire. Everything else is just waiting"
There should be a nautical database, sort of like craigslist for boats. It could have peripheral stuff like weather, routes, regattas....mostly, though, it would be for matching boats up with crew. Crew members could be evaluated and rated by owners, and vice-versa. The advertising potential would be good, I bet
