Our life raft arrived yesterday afternoon about 3:00. I filled the refrigerator and the cabinets
with enough food to feed to last about 2 weeks.
Since we have not traveled this way before, I am not sure when I will be
able to get to a grocery store again. We
have been told many marina's are within walking distance to a store, and many
offer the use of a loaner vehicle. We
are set in any case.
I walked up to the offices at BYS this afternoon, to thank
everyone who has worked with us. The
people here have been great. Business
schools should use them as a model for customer service. Ray asked me to call when we get to our first
destination today and offered to have someone accompany us. We have decided to go it alone feeling
confident in the training we have received that we are ready.
If the weather is good this morning, we will begin heading
south. It is still dark outside, but I
can feel that the wind is blowing and moving the water some. We will check with NOAA this morning to make
sure all is well before we head out. NOAA is an acronym for National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration. NOAA provides local and regional
forecasts. This information is
especially useful to those in the marine, aviation, and space industries.
We plan to make our first stop at Solomon's Island.

Prayers today for: Caroline, Lainey, and Jessica as they prepare for
and take their exams, Robin's mother
Linda, and safe travels
