Movin’ on up.

By Mike Jastrzebski

This week we moved up from ball #32 to ball #1 in the St. Augustine south mooring field. Not only does this mean that our dinghy ride from the boat to the dinghy dock only takes us 2 minutes instead of the 8-10 minutes it took us to get there from #32, but it also puts us behind the break wall when the nor’easters hit.

Even in thirty knot winds we should be able to get to shore and back with just a little discomfort. This means that Mary can get to work and we can get off the boat and to the store if we need to.

On the writing front things are moving ahead. I should have my editing of Stranded Naked Blues completed by the end of the month. After that Mary will do her editing and we will be ready for a cover.

As far as the weather goes, it’s been down into the low 40′s at night this past week but our wood/charcoal stove manages to keep things nice and toasty inside the boat. The only real discomfort is in the morning when we get up. By then the stove has gone out and it takes a bit to restart it and warm things up.
