HAPPY VALENTINES DAY
We got up this morning and tried to listen to weather guru Chris Parker. We have had so much static on our single side band radio that we have been unable to hear him. Today we did a little better. Lee turned off the modem and I unplugged and replugged the speaker and we could hear some of what he was saying. Since we will often be where we can not get weather data on the internet being able to get the weather info for our location on single side band is important.
We traveled about 28 nm today. We had the sails up a lot of the time but the wind was square on our bow the whole time so it was probably pointless. We had to keep the motor going the whole time. We arrived here at noon. We picked this place because it looked like it would give us protection from the high wind W & S that are predicted for Wed and Thurs. As the afternoon passed 2 other sail boats came in this same anchorage and anchored. There was always a boat of some sort in sight of us today, busy place.
I turned the freezer on this morning and it has worked fine all day. The temp now is down into the high 20s but was 47 this morning. Seemed like everything stayed frozen over night even though we had the freezer turned off. The bilge pump cut off when on automatic like it is supposed to today too. This tempermental boat, was in a good mood today.
We are in sight of Chub Cay which has a Bahama Telecommunication Co. tower so Lee can use his phone with the BTC SIM card as a hot spot. That lets us send and receive email and get internet. He only bought 4 gigabytes so do not know how fast we will run out but guess we will find out. Should be able to get a blog out Wed and Thurs night as long as we stay here.
