Waiting in Fort Lauderdale....


Tuesday August 26th
Good news.. TS Cristobol is heading out to sea, we have seen rougher surf, gusty winds, yep cooling rain but no hurricanes this week. Of course there is always a BUT and we are entering the peak part of the season ... and they think there are three storms developing ... so we keep watch

We had the Riggers come out and inspect the rigging. They installed our topping lift, fixed the lazy jacks, and found some major flaws with our sail track. A new one was ordered, we took our main sail in to get some repairs and today they are returning to install the track and put the sail back on. Should be interesting as it is a little breezy. 

We have explored more of Fort Lauderdale, visiting restaurants that we went to before and finding new ones. We love the Chowder at Kelly's Landing and home made Pickles at Season 52. Tom sold the old radio to a consignment shop, I found a yarn store and bakery, and will visit Smitty's Old Fashion Butcher Shop on Wednesday.
Joy and Tom from S/V Kokopelli are here and share in many of our adventures. We are both waiting for Mail, repairs, and weather in no particular order. We think... maybe... we will leave Friday or Monday depending on the seas in the Atlantic. 

For now
Nope that is not Tom

Joy and I got Mani, Pedi's and hair cuts... a pamper me day
