Another windy day. Chris Parker said the winds would ease a bit today but be back up tomorrow. Actually, what he said was, "if you think today is bad, wait until tomorrow." We can tell the winds are a little less today than yesterday. A little.
Another day for taking care of maintenance on the boat. We replaced the intake water hoses for the air conditioning and refrigerator pumps. In addition we completely removed the sea strainer housings and cleanded them to get rid of all the barnacles that had taken up residence there. We also put a back flow preventer in the bilge hose. Susan made use of her new Sailrite sewing machine and adjusted a zipper on one of the cockpit side curtains and did a little work on the screen that she made for the companionway. The screen has done a great job of keeping bugs out from below deck at night.
From Chris' forecast it looks like we'll be here until Thursday or Friday before heading to the Abacos. But the alarm goes off at 6:30 every morning so we can listen to the latest forecast for the Bahamas. We'll see what tomorrow's forecast brings.
Tonight we had some of the tuna we caught. Susan didn't care for it because it was rare but I thought it was very good. Next time I need to clean it differently as the blood line was still in it and that part isn't as fresh tasting as the rest.
