Stormy Weather

Well, we got back to pick up our re-built starter motor, with hopes of taking off after picking it up. All night we heard thunder and rain beating on the coachroof. This morning there was no relief, and as of suppertime, it's still raining. I even set out a couple of buckets to collect rainwater to scrub the teak with if it ever clears up.

So we read our books, cleaned the V-berth, re-organized some compartments, and generally had a restfull day. But it's dreary and we're now up against a time squeeze if we're to make it to Marion on time to meet Mark & Veronica on Friday evening. If we get off at the crack of dawn, we might make it, but now that the wind is down from the 30 knots we saw this afternoon to only about 7, it will be a slower trip up Buzzard's Bay.

The joys of cruising.
