OK, so here we are on Tuesday 10/21 still in Solomon Island. Was suppose to leave today to travel to our next stop but, alas the weather stopped us cold. Yes and that is what we mean. COLD!!!!!! The wind is whipping to 25 knots and the temperature is going down to the low 40's. So guess what we decided. Yep, that is sure. Hooked up the other 30 amp line and turned on the heat tonight. Took out the comforter from its storage area and we can't wait to get south where it is warmer.
NOAA states that the wind and waves will subside on Friday, so here we stay.
Our trip back to the Summer Wind was good and we made a little detour to my daughter Debby's house in Arlington, VA. Watched my granddaughter's soccer game, (Awesome) and had a grand steak dinner. Came back to the Summer Wind on Sunday and after unpacking crashed. The week and weekend were very emotional and tiring, but lovely.
Yesterday, Ted McCarley whose condo units we are docked came aboard and helped me bleed and re pressurize the autopilot system. Hopefully that will solve the problem.
So tomorrow, we will take out our bikes and get a little exercise. So, until we leave here will say goodbye and will continue then.
