I long for the solitude
of a sunset at sea,
and the chill of the breeze
coming in with the eve.
For the motion of my boat,
as she swings on her rode,
and the beauty of the stars,
in the evenings last glow.

'Mission Impossible' or Time to Adjust Sails...

"The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails." - William A. Ward
Today, we accepted the inevitable.  Another cold front pushed through northern Florida; it rained all day today and will rain again tomorrow.  We just aren't going to get the bottom paint done this week.  So, next week, Camachee will complete 4 coats of epoxy barrier paint followed by a couple of coats of Interlux VC Offshore Bottom Paint that will work well for this trip as well as in northern waters.  We are hoping for a splash day of Thursday the 18.  Hopefully, we will go on board Thursday night or Friday morning.  Departure is pushed back till Saturday the 20th.  - John
