It’s all about the weather!
We arrived in Oriental to wait for the right weather to head offshore to
the Bahamas. We always enjoy our time
here with everyone but as the weather gets colder we’re more anxious to head
south. We both caught a cold while here
and were miserable for a bit. A pleasant surprise while in Oriental - our friend Sunny drove up from Myrtle Beach with her dog Sky and spent the night aboard. We moved
to Donna and Jerry’s dock on Broad Creek a week ago. We’ve tried to help out Donna and Jerry as
they prepare their boat to head to the Bahamas.
There probably is no window to sail all the way to the Bahamas as we had hoped so
Persephone will head south this week, starting Monday, and see where we end
up. If you check the SPOT link you’ll be
able to see our progress. (You may need
to zoom in or out to see land for location reference.)

Jerry and I, Bob, and Ron came along with Jerry Luh when he
brought Bluejacket from the boatyard to their dock at their home. Here’s Jerry, Jerry, and Bob on the bow.

A couple of fronts came through with high winds, heavy
rains, and cold temperatures. Nice sky
though at sunset!

Hey!
ReplyDeleteNews from here is that we're GOING TO VISIT YOU 2!... in the EXUMAS!!! We are so excited and if we chat with anyone they walk away knowing our plans.
Weather has shifted to mid winter temps, 40-45 at night 47-52 during the day. PVC frame will be done today and we should have the boat fully covered by the end of the week. Teak still has to come up and a decision made as to what will be replacing it. (any thoughts, money is an object so teak is out)
Had a wonderful warm dry Halloween on the docks with lotsa pumpkins, spreader, running and anchor lighting glowing in the marina. Loads of laughs with neighbors and kids. Kinda like the festive xmas lighting for a single night.
Salmon are running and if you keep an eye out K and J pods are feeding and you may catch a glimpse.
Work is now as advertised for Lesie (headed in late mornings 4 days a week. not yet working from home , but thats coming) and she has her mornings for the gym and we get to see each other every day! AND the only alarm clocks are for when I have an early call time!
We'll track you via SPOT starting Mon.
Cheers!
David & Lesie
