So until that starts working--- I will just answer the question that I am sure some of you boaters are wondering about.
You have a Nordhavn... why are you worried about high seas?
Yes, we have a 57 Nordhavn... and yes, it will handle seas that are much higher than we are currently surrounded by here in the Abacos.
But we are staying in the Abacos for several reasons.
One being; why go out and get tossed around to just go from one beautiful island to another beautiful island?
Second reason is that our two dogs really don't like 6 to 8 footers. 2 to 4s, OK, even 4 to 6s but anything higher ruins their day.
Third and most importantly.... We tend to spill our cocktails in high seas.
An analogy:
We own a Land Cruiser that we drive everyday. We don't need such a capable and rugged vehicle on most days. We rarely go off-roading. But--- when the ice and snow hits we drive through with confidence. It's nice to know we have a vehicle that is capable, dependable, comfortable, and built to take us through almost anything.
So with all that said I will show Barometer Bob's forecast.
WEATHER AROUND MARSH HARBOUR***/^/*
SMALL CRAFT CAUTION REMAINS IN EFFECT^
MON NE to E winds 15-20K, seas 5-8ft, partly sunny to sunny with scattered showers and t-storms, high temp 80, low 75.
TUES NE to E winds 15-20K, seas 5-8ft, scattered clouds and plenty of sunshine, high temp 83, low 75
WED NE to E winds 20-25K, seas 7-11ft, sunny with scattered clouds, high temp 84, low 77
THUR NE to E winds 20-25K, seas 7-11ft, sunny with scattered clouds, high temp 84, low 75
FRI NE to E winds 20-25K, seas 9-13ft except 5-8ft W of Abaco, sunny with some clouds, high temp 84, low 75
So we're trying to decide if we want to wait it out so we can head further south or just head back the way we came and wait for a good day to cross the Gulfstream. (note the N direction in the winds.)
But the great part is that we have the luxury of hangin out in paradise and taking our time to decide.
Happy days
