Thunder in paradise

The bad weather predicted for last night and today arrived in force at 2:30 this morning. We had lots of wind, rain, and lightning. This morning dawned with distant thunder and a constant drizzle, which may go on all day. Tomorrow is supposed to be a much better day.


We have elected to extend our stay at Sombrero Marina by one day. We plan to depart here for an anchorage near Linda Vanaman’s home on Ramrod Key on Sunday 20 miles distant. Linda has church-related obligations that evening and will motor out to pick us up off our boats sometime Monday. She has plans to feed us at her house from her stash of frozen lobster.

We plan to depart the area Tuesday and head in the direction of Miami anchoring at two or three places along the way.  Yes, Amanda, mommy will be generally  headed homeward.

We will likely use the rental car to make a run to Key West on Saturday and possibly turn it in on Sunday before departing Marathon.

And fini for the Miss Patricia
