11/19
We wanted to let everyone know we’re fine and in good shape after finding ourselves a little too close to Hurricane Sergio, which became Tropical Storm Sergio. We were 100 miles from the center of the hurricane on Thursday, then 60 miles away as it was downgraded. We had gale-force winds for over 3 days. I was going to repeat what I said last week, that we weren't getting a break out here, but now we feel we got the biggest break of all ... not being run down by the beast!
We only made 90 miles in three days – we’re stuck at the half-way point. The wind has been right on our nose consistently for 5 days now. This boat is a tough vessel, but I think we should change her name from Woodwind (meaning it takes a good wind to make her move) to Gentle Breezes.
Yesterday we had torrential rains all day … from Sergio, of course. We are so looking forward to sailing without healing over, so we can continue to clean up this place.
