Wednesday, May 20, 2009 11:51:43 AM Location: St. Marys, GA The boat position was not recorded. This weather observation was taken on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 11:34:30 AM local time. Observation location: St. Marys GA. Observation position was not recorded. The air temperature is 67, and water temperature is 0 degrees fahrenheit. The forecast is Rain. The current weather is rain. The sky is overcast (more than 90% clouds). The wind is 22 knots from the east. The visibility is 5 nautical miles. The wave height is 1 feet with 0 foot swells. The barometer is 1023 millibars and falling. Nicholas and I have been sleeping well and staying on board while the gale, now in its third day, blows itself out. Fortunately, the anchorage here is really good. I have a good free internet connection on the boat through our PortNetworks box and high gain antenna. So, I have been taking care of a bunch of tasks necessary to get re-established in the states. I am set to fly up to Detroit on the 10th to pick up the bike and start driving it back to Florida where I will register it. I hope to stop at Derek's and Chris's on the way back. I will stay at Laura's while in FL and get my residence change completed. I'll also go over and visit mom and see how she is doing. I don't have a cell phone yet. The nearest store is over in Fernandina so I'll need some wheels to get there. I might have a ride from a fellow boater who lives over there and has been following the journey. Hopefully this weather will begin to clear tonight and let us get the dinghy down and to shore. It really isn't supposed to be nice until Monday though. I talked on the radio with the folks on the next boat over. THey are locals and related that this is really unusual weather. They are on a mooring and came to the boat to make sure it was OK through all this. They also warned against going on the ICW over Memorial weekend because of all the drunk crazies that will be out. They are heading up to the Chesepeake for the summer, but not until after the Memorial Weekend is over. Meanwhile, I shut down the watermaker and pickled it. I need some fresh DVDs though. The onboard TV is worthless because of the digital conversion and I've seen all the DVDs onboard a hundred times! Oh well. I want to thank all the people who have written and welcomed Nicholas and me back to the states. It is really nice to know you are all out there and care. All is well.
