Waiting On Weather

It seems we are in for an extended wait for acceptable weather. The forecast had looked good for this coming weekend, but now that has deteriorated. The seas in the gulf stream are running very high so we will wait it out at Green Turtle Cay. There are really no good all around protected anchorages after leaving here. There is West End, but that is a marina that could get expensive if caught there for several days. We met Brian and Jan on Wind Chaser. They are from Lorian, Ohio which is an area we know well from when we lived in the area. They have a condominium on the Black River in a complex we have toured by dinghy with friends. They also retired last summer. We have compared our plans and they match up well so we will cross the gulf stream together. Meanwhile we are enjoying their company here at Green Turtle Cay. They have a son in the Navy stationed at Fernandina Beach, Florida and we are destined for Daytona Beach. They plan to leave the boat there and fly to Atlanta to visit their daughter and baby sit grandchildren. We both would very much like to reach our destinations by the end of March.
