The weather is just not cooperating with us. We could leave tomorrow and have fairly decent travel if you don't mind fog at night and early morning while trying to thread your way around ships and oil rigs, but Saturday and Sunday the winds turned north at 25 to 30 kts with 5 to 7' waves... chance of thunderstorms... and even the inland waters are "rough". We need at least 4 days to get to another marina to tie in and wait out weather. Grand Isle just west of the Mississippi delta is our first safe hold. Anchoring out in 5 to 7 ' waves... not happening.
We did get out new dingy cover and Dave and Carol English made for us and it is great. Tom finished varnishing the wood in the cock pit and made set a board up to hold our extra gerry cans of fuel.
I have stocked and restocked the pantry, knitted, read, cooked, knitted... waiting for a weather window.
