Cortez Florida and DEPARTURE to Mexico

UPDATE:  didnt get off the dock today.  Our electronics took a dump and we could not get the Chartplotter to see where we are.  (without the chart plotter, you cant see where you are, or where you are going) Out at sea you need to know where are so you can end up where you think you are going...


I slept pretty well on the little sailboat Gypsy Fever.  We (Dave, and Sue. Tom, a retired math teacher and I.) are all busy scurrying about getting ready for a departure before noon.  Lots of little last minute preparations to do.  (fill water tanks. check and tie down all loose items)  I was assigned current and future weather forecasts and 'plot fall off points on Cuba' should some emergency develop that requires us to land there...   So i have charted 8 points and anchorages along Cubas northern shore.  Hopefully that is some info we WONT need!

Gotta run now and help with other chores.  
Bon Voyage!    -Skip
