Gamblers we’re not, and given our recent run in with lightning, we folded when it came to 75% chance of thunderstorms today in the Florida Bay, the first leg of our route from the Keys to PGI. Instead we relaxed, did a little laundry and basically enjoyed having the time to do nothing. Tomorrow Little Shark will be our anchorage and the next Marco Island. For the next two days we lose our internet and phone capabilities, but will be back in touch by Wednesday evening.
Anybody have ideas on how to use up a month’s provisions so
as not to have to tote them from the boat back into the house? That’s a downside of not going to the Bahamas,
but the good thing is we shouldn’t need to do much grocery shopping until June
when we were scheduled to return home.
In thinking about up and down sides to our shortened cruise
we came up with a list.
Downs—left over provisions, destroyed electronics, disappointment of not spending time with friends in the Bahamas, shortened vacation time.
Ups—no grocery shopping for a month, new electronics, more time with friends at home and cruises around Punta Gorda, savings in fuel and marinas.
Cruising is a lot like life, in every situation there’s a
lot to be learned.
