"The sun will come out tomorrow..." Matt and I bicycled into the marina bar
about half a mile across the airport run way, for a night cap after a
gourmet meal of spaghetti and brats. Met a group of fishermen who had just
flown in for a two day charter. They were from New Jersey. I didn't ask
the lead guy's name but it wouldn't have surprised me if it was Tony and his
boat was named Stugats. The place filled and by then it was raining pretty
steady.

The dock master who was running the grill in the kitchen offered us a ride
back to the boat. We ended up dropping the marina manager off at her house
in the back 40 on the way back to the boat. It rained pretty steady all
night but at least the wind has dropped some .

Looking at the long range forecast we may be wishing for a little of the
wind latter on in the week. 'Too much.... not enough.'

With only two of us on the boat we were marveling at how much space there
was and since we were able to store and put stuff away over the last two
days how neat and tidy everything had become.


We have spent quite a bit of time studying our upcoming route. This will be
some of the most challenging navigation of the entire crossing. We have
maps and waypoint a plenty... if we just keep the alternatives straight.
All is well.
