Moving on


Plan on pulling the anchor at 0900 in the morning and heading down to No Name Harbor for the crossing on Sat. I spoke to our weather forecaster, Chris Parker, and he said Sat should be good, but stay in Bimini until Mon or Tue due to a strong cold front moving thru the Bahamas Bank on Sunday with gusts to 40 knots. We went to Publix tonight and bought a few more groceries and dinner. I had a 60 gal bladder which I put on the floor of my dingy, and filled with water. I had a spare water pump, and I went to ACE hardware and bought some items and can now pump water from the dingy to the boat without carrying any jugs if the spigot is close enough to fill the bladder. I have the generator running, and Nanc watched American Idol but is now in bed reading her Kindel. I do not believe we will have much connectivity in the Bahamas, but we hope to use Skype to phone home, and Nanc bought an ATT unlocked phone to put a SIM card in. She spends a lot of time staying in touch with her work, but we walked quite a bit today. She gets tired, and I hailed a cab back to the dock. I will still send FindmeSpot GPS locations. You can make up the thoughts. As I was getting some items for the water transfer the dingy broke loose and floated away. Our buddies on Madame started their dingy and brought her back. We use to call our ole dingy Pita for Pain in the A--. I need to name this one Pita II. Good night, S
