Snow Day

Well not exactly, but it was poor weather and cool.

Michelle visited last week and we showed her a whirlwind tour of the
BVIs. Then it was back to Nanny Cay to pick up some parts. Leaving
Nanny Cay we got thoroughly doused with rain (just like the last time
we departed there), but it was only a taste of what was coming.

The forecast was for lots of wind and it held true. We no sooner got
over to our anchorage on Norman Island and got the anchor down than
the sky grew dark, the wind whipped up, and it stayed that way the
rest of the day and night. We're used to squalls coming through, but
it's unusual to see a gray rainy sky for an entire afternoon. It's
still windy this morning, but the sun is around. Time to put the
parts to work with a few repairs and a few improvements.

Friends are visiting next week, bringing us mail and some supplies
from California. Beyond that we're beginning to plan our move south,
looking at where we would go in St. Martin, St. Barts and Antigua/
Barbuda.
