Weather Window?
Woohoo!
Things are looking better. A line of squalls blew through here today, and the skies cleared behind them. Our daily weather checks have revealed a window to depart on Sunday morning for Panama. While the conditions are not ideal, they are better than the 35 knots of wind and 16-foot seas that are out there right now.
In the meantime, I have relearned how to windsurf. I took a lesson Tuesday, during which I spent more time in the water than on the board. Today, I winged it, and did much better. This time, I spent more time on the board than in the water. It was a lot of fun, but the 30-knot gusts made it tough on these chicken-wing arms. 300 downward dogs do no justice to holding a sail back against these winds.
It was 34c (90f) here today. New York was cold. I miss home, but I'm thrilled to be here.
