I've been doing last minute errands and jobs today, but looks like every thing's coming together. If all goes to plan tomorrow, we'll be leaving Kemah Marina at midday, sailing to Galveston to pick up Greg, then off into the Gulf of Mexico.
The forecast for Sunday/Monday is for a Northerly to come in, with 11 foot swell and 20-30 knot winds, so we should be in for some heavy weather, however if it comes the wind will be in the right direction to push us towards florida in extra quick time. Given it's going to be quite tight getting there in time, this is exactly what we need, and may mean we get an extra day for a stop over in Key West.
Fingers crossed my next post will be from the yacht while under sail!

All sounds good. 11ft swell... a bit like sailing at Herne Bay or Whitstable then! Spooky, just read your blog and on comes Glen Campbell on the radio and sings Galveston! Weather here fantastic today, shorts and tee shirts and lots of gardening and walking by the sea. Forcast to p..s down tomorrow, but if it is warm enough intend to have my 1st sail of the year. Hope all goes well when you set off, looking forward to reading all about it. Look after yourself. Dad G
