                | 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..... |
