Well we are ready to go.... the house is leased to a very nice couple with three daughters, one away at college and two at home. They move in on May 15th.
We have not set out for our cruise yet, like all cruisers we are dependent on the weather, and we can afford to be picky. Nothing wrong in being a fair weather sailors. So we are resting and finishing up last minute things here in Alameda waiting for a break in the weather. We are all set to go, we have a cruise kit with spare impellers, thermostat, belts, etc....
We have checked NOAA, a web site called Buoy Weather and got a forecast from Commander Weather, all three show winds from 16-25 knots, wind waves 4-5 feet on top of swells 10-16 feet at about 8 seconds. We have no desire to venture out in that weather. The break is expected late next week in about 10 days.
The delay will work out for the best as we could use a rest break from getting the house cleaned up and the boat ready. We are safe and warm here in our slip in Alameda and spending time with our neighbors here at Grand Marina.
As`you can see the weather here is nice, but true at sea. In order to lift our spirits, Mike the Mayor of "B" dock came delivering Margaritas for all.
Take care,
Deb
