Mary got her stuff packed into her rental car and departed
about 1030 – that’s Mary-time for a planned 1000 departure. She is in Lake City tonight with daughter
Florence and family and will head for home in the morning where she will remain
a day before heading to daughter Lynn’s in Beauregard, AL for her graduation
and a few days visiting.
I spent the remainder of the day dealing with getting Mom
and follow-up appointment for her ER visit of last week after she suffered a
compression fracture of her left arm and buying and installing a CD/FM receiver
and speakers to replace the old broken stuff aboard. Got tunes now!
Mother Nature offered a bait to lure us into the open Gulf
with a10-15 knot easterly winds and calm seas tomorrow, but we wily cruisers
double checked some other features of the forecasts and found good chances of
thunderstorms and increasing seas. Ever
been in a small vessel at sea in a thunderstorm? You will NOT make that same mistake twice!
So here we sit exemplifying the definition of cruising –
fixing your boat in exotic locales.
