Nobody Knows

     The first three days of the "blow" was very close to the last Saturday's predictions, although the winds did let up a little on Wednesday.   Yes, the weather forecasters were right and a blind pig will sooner or later find an acorn!  The forecast from three days ago for the next three days (T-F-S) from today have changed to the point that we are considering a major move with the boat.  Now, the question is will the prediction for the next three days hold as forecasted today, Wednesday?  Our plan,  is to leave on Friday for Highborne Cay in the northern Exumas.  In preparation for Fridays departure, we have once again moved the boat back over to Black Point Settlement.  Will we ever leave here - stayed tuned.  Here, we will join up with Dave and Joan onboard M/V Joda,  a beautiful 1994 Kadey-Krogen Whaleback, for our migration north.  Joda will part company from us at Highborne on Saturday as they continue onto Spanish Wells and their adventure to the  Abacos. and we will travel to Nassau, Bahamas  This is where have made a major change to our cruising itinerary.  After a long discussion with Rick and Deb on our buddy boat, M/V Broulee, and this was a mutual agreement, we have decided to return to the United States and forgo our previously planned trip through the Abacos.  Remember, plans in Jello?  So after a brief visit, or not, to Nassau and the casinos we will be heading west for Florida.  The run through the Abacos has been postponed until a more favorable time frame.  Looking forward and being able to concentrate on the big picture, and this was probably a wise decision, we should be able to reunite with family and friends, for a brief time, in Pennsylvania and firm up our trip to New England with our buddy boat.  Or, that  is what I think we're doing.  It appears our travel plans are as predictable as the weather, nobody knows!
