We spend the day cleaning, exploring, cooking, etc to prepare for our offshore passage. One of the power boats close to us has allowed us to use his water hookjup, so we have full tanks - and we have showered on our boat - YAY! For those who take bathing for granted, we are so grateful to now have this ability in an actual shower rather than a sponge bath in the galley or a frigid shower down in the cockpit. Another sailboat arrives on the same dock - Tropical Spice - with a captain named Ralph Hunter. He had just purchased his boat and was like a little boy - just thrilled beyond belief. Nice man who could really play guitar. Blair asked him to tune and then autograph our Cuban boat guitar which he was pleased to do.
By Tuesday, the plan is to prepare for the passage - we are expecting rain on Wednesday with clearing skies - wind will be Northwest 10-15 knots - apparently this is perfect for us - let's hope so! We said goodby to Don and Susan on s/v Old Sam who we met last night - they are from Gold River, Nova Scotia - what a small world!
