Time for another update.


We’re still sitting in Newport and in the process of deciding whether to leave tomorrow or Thursday. Several boats left today and the reports back have been that there’s no wind but big, squirrelly waves coming from more than one direction so it feels like they are in a washing machine. Farther out than the standard 5-7 miles that most of the coastal cruisers travel the winds pick up considerably and in some places are 30+ knots (gale force). We check the weather reports continually in hopes that they will report changes in the works. So far no luck. In the meantime, we do little projects, play games or watch movies in the evening and continue to wait. We are all getting impatient.
