blow update......... from P

It's a new record for us! The 20 knot winds kicked up on Tuesday, the 17th. Today is Friday, the 27th and it is currently blowing a steady 23 to 25 with gusts to 30 knots. No storms anywhere, plenty of sunshine. Just a constant 24 hour-a-day hard, whistling wind. Yesterday we were able to make it about 10 miles further toward Key West, then we turned in to Newfound Harbor and anchored near Little Torch Key. We cannot go anywhere today. After 10 straight days of this wind, the seas are whipped up into a veritable frenzy. Big rollers with breaking tops - no fun at all. So we will hang in here today, take care of some paperwork, read books, play a game, watch a DVD, and eat all our food.
