WATCHING FOR A WEATHER WINDOW

So, here we sit waiting for a weather window.  We are looking for some low winds and waves to make our way into the mouth of the river.  Once in the river the wind is not much of a concern except for making our way through the locks and also for docking.  Neither of which, do expect to be any problem. 

Saturday would have been a really good day, but we wanted to spend this last weekend at the Marina, so we passed that one by.  And now it is looking like it will be Wednesday, when the wind will die off and it will be a good day to travel.   

Today the forecast is for strong winds and rain, so it looks like this will be a good day to do some cleaning and packing.  I have to go through my cloths and decide what items I'm leaving on the boat and what I'm taking home, and what I have duplicates of and can take to Texas with me. 

Tomorrow looks like a possibility for us to get away early in the morning and across to the mouth.  Once in the river we will slow down and have a relaxing cruise for the rest of the day.
