Something we can do in the cold
 
It is gonna be 27 degrees tomorrow morn here in N. FL. so maybe too
cold for boating.
However, great for looking for caves. All the snakes are too cold to
move.
Another way it works is that on very cold mornings with dry air, the
caves actually blow air out that is more humid and warmer than the
outside air. So, one can find caves on mornings like this by looking
for the condensing water vapor near them.
Mostly, it is the snakes being too cold to move.

The rest of us will be hunkered down in our houses with the heat turned
up.

I was thinking of driving south and playing for a couple of days but,
there is no place to go.

They are telling us 2 more weeks of cold weather.


That's it, I'm heading south, way south. USVI, BVI, St Martin,
Antigua, Dominica, Martinique, St Lucia, St Vincent, Grenada...

First we've got to get out of here and across the Gulf Stream without
getting beat up too badly.

Stay tuned.

It's been a long cold winter for us. There hasn't been a hard freeze at
my secret location yet. I've got my fingers crossed.

Now there's an idea...all he would have to do is duct tape a broom
handle onto you...you're gristly enough to do the job.

Yup. Myrtle Beach is in the 30's. But, I'm going out to Greendale
tomorrow. I'm tired of the damn treadmill.

You be careful, damnit.

Don't want you making the damn news. There's some pretty bad stuff out
there.

Here's a tip. Keep your balls warm so they don't crack when you smack them.

We do plan to be careful, very careful. With only a couple of notable
exceptions, the trip will be mostly island hopping in populated areas.

I'll post information on our blog site and position tracking sites
after we take off, hopefully next week.

Watch out for pirates, either at sea with guns or the ones ashore who
hold diesel nozzles ;-.)


There's actually a third choice under what is known as the "Channel 5"
bridge, near Matecumbe Harbor, about 20 nautical miles east of
Marathon. We'll probably go that way unless the wind blows all the
water out of Florida Bay, or we have some need to stop in Marathon.

Our typical route is Sanibel to Big Marco Pass, Big Marco to Channel
5, Channel 5 to the Gulf Stream and then over to Castle Rock, Chub Cay
and Nassau. From there we'll go south through the Exumas to the
Turks and Caicos, and then on to the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico
and the USVI.
