Good bye Islamorada

Tue.. March 3, 2015
Northern Barnes Sound
Near Homestead, FL

We are anchored in 8 ft of water with not another boat in sight. We are tucked behind some mangroves for wind protection.  We are glad to share the news our sailing partner Mark got a good CT scan. There is no sign of the cancerous liver tumor. Great news for everyone. We should meet them tomorrow and then head off the the Bahamas.

We left our lovely anchorage that has been home for over a week and motor sailed to our stop for this evening. We towed the dinghy all morning but put it in its cradle this afternoon and got the motor properly mounted and the frozen bolt broken loose too.  We found a water leak in our head (commode for the non sailors) but Lee dinked with it and it seems to have stopped. Time will tell. I think our daily sacrifice to the water gods today was a kneeling pad. This is not funny anymore.

We will be out of communication as soon as we hit international waters. We will write blogs but will only publish them when we can get access to wifi which may not be often. We will group post when we can. We also will not be able to receive email on any regular basis so we may or may not see anything you send. I may have DTs because my cell phone will be almost worthless and I have grown to love it.

That's All Folks!
