Chick arrived here yesterday, and was immediately put to work hauling the dinghy on deck, securing "stuff", and stowing "stuff", and today he helped raise the genoa. His presence is a real godsend, in view of the amount of "stuff" that needed to be stowed/done.
Art and Nathalie did the shopping for provisions yesterday and we found it all in the cabin when we came back from drinks with Marty and Steve, who are supposed to be heading north on May 15. We were a bit daunted by the amount of provisions to be stowed, but we found room for it all, and now the boat is riding a bit down by the bow - on her lines more in the bow than in the stern. And to think that when we started out with this boat, the bow rode at least 6 inches above the waterline.
It looks like the SPOT device works quite well. It tracked me all the way down to FtL and back, including the side trip to PBI to pick up Chick. The shared page look great and friends and family will be able to track us as we progress. We plan to push the button every change of the watch.
Tommorrow, we will pick up Art and Nathalie at 10, move to the fuel dock as soon as they get settled in, and then shove off some time after noon, on the high tide. We are now off to do some very last minute shopping.
