weather, knowing that I would be packing in just a few hours. But the
packing got called off because over night the weather had
substantially deteriorated. We would not be departing soon.
This morning I got up, began making coffee, and began looking at the
weather, knowing that I would be packing in just a few hours. Now I
am packed! One medium duffel has full foul weather gear including
boots, cold weather clothes, and a pair of slacks for the airplane
ride home. Yes, we may end up far enough north that it will be cold.
A second medium duffel has extra boat shoes, underwear, tee shirts,
shorts, short sleeve shirts. A small hand bag carries papers and
toiletries, cash and credit cards, cell phone. Hopefully I won't even
have to go into the first duffel except to get the slacks at the end
of the voyage.
Getting to the bottom of the second duffel will take more than a dozen
days. Jay Sea Dee actually has a washer on board, a luxury in a fifty
foot sailboat, but we likely won't be washing while offshore, unless
someone just wants to wash a favorite pair of nylon shorts in the
ocean. Jay Sea Dee carries plenty of water and has a water maker, so
rinsing with fresh water will be allowed. Once in Bermuda we will
freshen up. We will again when in the Azores.
Hopefully we slip lines tomorrow at first light! I am bored waiting.
It will take us about four hours to get to the ocean. Unless we see
something we aren't expecting we will be off.
