It is mid-morning on Monday, and we have returned from two nights at Monos Island, just west of the Boca Passage to the ocean. We've had the canvas man do the last installs on the bimini, picked up a few more gallons of fresh water, done a load of laundry the easy way ashore, and are hanging it all over the boat to dry.
In a few minutes, we'll dinghy over to Customs and Immigration to check out, and then will return to the Boca, to anchor in Scotland Bay to wait for the wee hours of the morning. If all systems are still working, we'll pull out sometime before 4 a.m., and head for Grenada. The weather is not perfect in that we are scheduled to have low winds. Oh well, we'll have a nice motor, and a good check of our systems in low-risk seas. The run is about 80 miles, and should be doable in 16 hours. We've been getting way too much sleep these last few days anyway.
