38:41.79N 076:10.28W Our bits arrived yesterday so with the wind forecast
to be from the east we took the opportunity to head south, only problem was the
wind or what little there was came from the south, we ended up motoring to
Oxford and anchored outside the town. We haven't been ashore as we were fitting
the insulator on the mizzen rigging for the SSB antenna, that done, we hope we
can now join in on the radio net of boats travelling south and will be able to
keep in touch with friends further away as we all head to different destinations
once we leave the USA. There are stronger winds forecast for tonight so we will
probably stay here tomorrow, go ashore then head south, its getting mighty
chilly here we had to get our jackets and woolly hats out despite the sun shine
today. The south definitely beckons but as there are 2 tropical storms in the
Caribbean at the moment, the reason why we have to stay up here for now and at
least we do have heating! |
