Not too much to report today.....but a very windy night as another Low went through - but better now than later!  Plan for today is to get some dhobying done - Richard and Suzie Leaman have kindly offered laundrette facilities this afternoon, and then a ride to the airport so that we can meet Seb.  So we are all very excited (about the dhobying.......!)
 
Forecast is looking fairly stable...a series of small depressions forming on the long trailing cold front stemming from the main depression centred over Quebec.  So winds from the westerly quadrant look most likely for days to come - which is very good news (the ones to avoid around here are the North Easters - as they blow against the Gulf Stream, creating a steep and nasty sea).
 
So no final decisions yet, but Monday 1200 departure on the first of the ebb currently looking favorite.....
