The EJ's Voyage

Well, yes, we are still in Nassau! Waiting for the weather to finally improve to allow us to sail comfortably (we hope) to Ft Lauderdale - 180nm or 30hrs at sea.
 
It looks like tomorrow will be the day! Hurrah! Forecast is sunny and warm, Northeast to East winds at 15 to 20 kts, 4 to 7 ft seas.
 
We haven't been wasting our time here in Nassau though. Actually, we have been rather busy. Mike has cleaned the hull and deck, done several maintenance jobs as well as repairs. I have been cleaning down below, done the grocery shopping, went running and all that with one and a half hand! Actually, I am amazed as how effective the Cataflam pills are. Hand feels so much better which is great.
 
The American couple from the boat next to us are really lovely and we have had some good chats around a drink together. They have got a cute little white dog called Captain Nemo!
 
Hopefully we will get a flight back home around 11/12th.
 
Wish us well for tomorrow and more news in the next blog from Ft Lauderdale.
 
Kisses
Catherinexxx and Mike
