WOW.... the weather front swept through here last night about 6 PM... bringing with it a change to North and NW winds... Normally when this change happens it doesn't stick around for any significant length of time... the winds will drive the cold air out to sea... NOT this time... IT's HERE!!! All the news stations are warning of "freeze conditions", and have clips of farmers initiating their irrigation, and spray systems to save the crops....
So far, so good here at our anchorage... The holding is good (It's blowing between 15 and 30 knots), and we're sheltered just enough that there's very few white caps, and wave action.
(It's not FLAT, but it's not really rocky either).
Every so often the boat will heel over about 5 degrees, before rounding up into the wind, and standing up...
SO... anyway...the temp in the main Salon this morning was a balmy 64F... But I guess tomorrow it'll be significantly colder.... until mid-afternoon. Then it should be back into the 60's....and up from there....
I'm glad we didn't move down to Dinner Key yet.... There's a whole bunch of anchored boats (either semi-live-aboards, or semi-derilict) to the north of the mooring field (north of the Dinner Key Channel).... and this morning when the winds really kicked up, a few of these anchored boats were dragging toward, and through the mooring field at Dinner Key. The VHF was busy...
OK... time for lunch...more later.
