Waiting for a weather window

Well, it's a gorgeous, blue-sky, filled-with-glorious-sunshine kind of day on the Chesapeake Bay (check out the marina webcams).  We had originally thought we'd set sail today, but rather than dance with a few leftover gusts from the recent nor'easter on our maiden voyage, we decided to wait until calmer winds enter the region and leave on Saturday (leaving on a Friday is widely considered superstitious).

So, the fuel injection pump has been reinstalled and tested.  Everything onboard has been securely stowed.  The pantry has been stocked.  Water and fuel tanks are full.  All systems are go and 48 hours from now, we'll be heading south on the Bay!

Enjoy the day!
