Underway?

We left the dock a couple of days ago! Whoo-hoo! Our voyage lasted all of ten minutes. We backed out of the slip in order to turn the boat around so I could sand the toe rail on the port side. It’s so much easier to do that from the dock than from a dinghy. I’ve been involved in sanding the toe rail in preparation for varnishing. I’m saving the varnishing for a nice comfortable anchorage just off a sunny, palm-studded, sandy beach. Anyway, I finished sanding the port side toe rail and proudly proclaimed the job finished and ready for varnish. Claudia burst my bubble by pointing out that I still had the cap rail on the transom and the trim around the companionway to sand. Not a big job, but a job that renders my “Mission accomplished” declaration inaccurate.
We have seen one front after another pass through and even though it would have been possible to leave a couple of times, we would have been stuck for several days elsewhere. It looks like we will have a good weather window this week and hope to get off to St Augustine. It’s time.
