Departure Date Delayed

I am two days past my self imposed deadline of posting a weekly blog by each Sunday evening.  :-)

We planned to begin The Great Loop on March 15th. We even planned to move the departure date up a day to the 14th, to be at Cape Kennedy for a space launch. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans. The launch was cancelled due to bad weather and so was our departure from Ft. Pierce, FL. 

So, what does a girl with time on her hands do? Hair, manicure, and pedicure. 
And eat..
Ft. Pierce has a wonderful Farmers Market on Saturday mornings. 
Of course a few last minute touches to the boat by Dave and Jeff. They are local marine super mechanics that can fix anything on a boat. 
This is Malcolm, the Dock Master. Great Guy who looks after things. Brings the pump out gadget (pumps out holding tank - NASTY WORK) to the boat periodically. 
And Jack holding the business end of the pump out hose. 

Good weather is predicted for tomorrow. So, tomorrow, March 19th is our new departure date. We have our fingers crossed.
