Waiting for a weather window!


November 25 – 28, 2011

I left Panama City Marina on a windy Friday morning to go back a mile to Bay Point Marina.  The way in is a bit tricky, but it’s cheaper and nicer, and I am meeting my friend Boreas.  Once Around and Spirit of Whitby later joined us.  They all had cocktails on my upper deck and then went to the restaurant in the marina.
Can you find your way?

On Saturday they did some chores and cleaned me up a bit.  Then they left me to go sit by the pool (yes, it was that warm!).  They finally came back, watched some football, and had a mini-Thanksgiving dinner.

Sunday was very windy!  Greg worked on my radio because I’ve had some problems hearing others.  Then they left me again, this time to do some Christmas shopping.  Kate came back with bags, so I’m guessing it was successful!

They got home just before the rains started.  More friends, Brandy IV and The Cooper had come in.  They said it was rough out there!  It rained pretty heavily off and on all night.

Monday was another windy, rainy day. Greg cleaned my strainers, so I feel better.  Then he spent a lot of time plotting different routes from different departure points.  This waiting is boring!  Looks like Thursday might be “crossing day”.
