Out to the big blue sea

Thursday, November 27th, 2008

Things look fairly good for us to do a little offshore sailing tomorrow! It should help speed us up abit for a crossing to the Bahamas in about 2 weeks or so.  Aside from being grounded the other day (yes, that was us beside marker 60A for all of you taking pictures!) things are going pretty good. Yes, it could be warmer – there is a frost warning for tonight - but it has been fun so far and that is what is should be all about! I will admit that I would have liked to spend more time taking in the sites that we have passed; who knows, maybe we will someday end back north in this direction and see them then. The days do go bye fast and I find myself pretty much ready to crawl into bed before 9pm(on a good night!). Looking forward to a more relaxed pace when we are further south!
