We escaped!

Check out our new position in Linton! After almost five weeks we finally got off the dock. Time to see Steve, Patty, Oliver and Marla on Hanelei Moon, and maybe Christian and Josiane too!

The rain let up a little earlier in the week but yesterday was rainy again and this morning was a flat gray raining sky. It broke for about two hours when we departed (and then spent an hour calibrating our autopilot), but started up again and rained for most of the trip to Linton. It got quite intense close to Linton but we could see it lightening up so we slowed down, headed a little further offshore and let the worst of it pass.

Fay was still getting her sea legs, and the anchorage is now a bit rolly. We still have a bunch of stuff to fix, but it's so nice to be off the dock!
