We’re in Key West, or I should say were anchored in the harbor area to the north of Key West. A strong cold front has gone through and the wind has switched from strong SE to S to SW to W to NW and now, this morning, it's north! This all happened in a 24 hour span, the problem is that the anchorage has no protection from NW and N so, last night, we pitched up and down as the anchor line pulled tight and the 2 footers rolled beneath us. The harbor was filled with “white horses”. (That’s when the top of a wave crests and makes a bit of white foam on top of the wave). From a distance it looks like bits of white scattered across the top of the water. So, last night as we watched one of the ‘Harry Potter’ movies and the movie came to the quiditch match, we sat and watched the characters soar up and down thru the air and it felt like “3-D” inside of the boat as we moved up and down with them. Life on a boat is anything but boring!
Was wondering how you fared on Monday night. Got home for the hospital where Lew had his hip replacement surgery, to the rock and roll of 25 knots! Not pleasant, trying to tie the big dinghy up alone. And I thought about you, and where you were at, and if you were doing fine. Sounds like "fine" was the word!
