Untied and all wrapped up

Boy , sometimes i am glad we were nicely tucked away in a Marina. A Cold front passed over Cape Town today , pretty appropriate that it was the last day of Winter as the temperatures plummeted. I just managed to get a load of Clothing and my pillows onto the yacht before the wind howl and the heavens opened. Gusts of about 30 Knots and upwards lashed the boats at the marina and we all sat in the saloon looking on . Again , thank goodness we were not "out there".

We have a slight delay as there is a small problem with the paper work , so looks like we only leave maybe Tuesday. Hey that Ok , gives us time to recheck things on the boat. And with this weather all i feel like doing is hiding in my cabin and burrowing under the blankets. We have shore power so we can watch Movies off the Laptop and we just figured out how to use our Cellphones to connect to the internet. ( Not as easy as you think)
