that fell off of the truck on the way to my house”. We wanted to leave for the Bahamas yesterday!!!
Predawn sundeck view. Makes for a heck of a yoga studio window.
I’ve come to realize that the only time you really need patience is when you’re holding on tightly to a desired predetermined outcome. If you keep your mind open to other opportunities and possibilities, the waiting isn’t quite so difficult.
First it was high winds offshore, and now it’s a low pressure system, that has us continuing to hang out in North Palm Beach, probably until Friday. Every decision is a compromise of some sort. Also everyone wants their first time to be memorable for all the right reasons! That applies to crossing the Gulf Stream as well. We look forward to arriving at West End, high fiving, and toasting and smiles all around, not green faced, cleaning up broken wine bottles, and other unfortunate messes and mishaps. So we’ll wait.
We’ve been entertaining ourselves by continuing to work on the endless boat chore list, enjoying walks
around the marina, hikes to Publix, the laundromat & of course West Marine!
Hang in there with us. We promise there will be more exciting stories and beautiful pictures to come!
Excellent attitude !
Palm Beach from the dashboard lights!
Patience is not simply the ability to wait-it’s how we behave while we’re waiting…
Great day for defrosting the frig…
For all of you John D MacDonald & Travis McGee fans, look what Tom spotted!

Having travelled to many out of the way places, Ernie tend to regard delays/disasters or even little odd difficulties as fodder for great dinner party conversations/stories. We’ll expect to hear lots of these when you make it to OZ 😀

Stuck in North Palm Beach! What a terrible fate, LOL. Don’t think there’s even a country song in there…

Guess you’re right! Wah Wah Wah is not getting much sympathy! Love seeing Spurrier do the “Shake it off” dance on you tube. Hope it works! Hugs and pack your bags (don’t need much) and come on down. We probably won’t cross over till Friday. We’ll find wifi so you can watch the game from the boat!

Robin,
I am so enjoying reading about y’all journey as I hope that it is me in years to come. Waiting for a fun and relaxing crossing sounds like a stellar plan. Hello’s and high fives from Folly Beach. Your Mariner’s Cay friend,
