We're going back on to "transmit only" now for ten days. The autopilot control unit should be with us by 3pm local time then we'll set off. James estimates ten days to reach Florida and we shall spend a couple of nights' resting at anchor without clearing in on the Bahama bank. James is hoping now to make landfall at Cape Harbour Marine near the Space Center as the rates are half of those further south around Palm Beach etc. Ian Martin has kindly agreed to send us text weather updates daily from the NWS site and the forecast is looking kind. Hopefully we won't break anything else...
wishing you all safe onward passage. Snow continues here with people stuck overnight in cars as far south as Sussex - all flights, ferry crossings etc cancelled as weather is far worse across the channel - no let up in sight.love mum xxx
ReplyDeleteThinking of you all with fondest love and good wishes for a safe journey. I'm off to Melbourne to join Jock and Diana on Friday, love Hxxxx
ReplyDeleteSafe travels to FL! The space centre is very good, check out their breakfast with an astronaut programme. I hope it stays warmish for you. :) Kristi
