SAILING AROUND THE WORLD WITH SPIRIT OF ARGO

Florida, Palm Beach – just a quick pit stop on the way to the Bahamas

Bloody humans have restricted my daily runs to constantly running up and down the boat after balls.  Not very exciting.  At least they have not thrown any of my toys overboard…..yet.  They tell me this is just a quick pit stop and then we are back on our way.

Normally I insist they sail everywhere, but the winds have dropped to almost nothing many times during the day and night and I have let them turn on the ‘choke and smoke’ in the name of ‘steering and progress’.  We have definitely felt the slight pull north of the Gulf Stream after we cleared the Florida point of Cape Canaveral.

The humans thought it would be prudent, and not really out of the way, to stop quickly at Palm Beach and make sure we were at ‘max capacity’ of cheaper American fuel before hitting the Bahamas.  Especially as the forecast is ‘almost’ no wind for the crossing.

A front is headed to south Florida and the Bahamas next week, so the humans would like to be across, checked into the new country, and anchored up in a protected spot before that front comes through.  Looks like it will hit for Christmas???

I am sure we will have internet again before Christmas so we can shoot you all off salutations.  For now, I just wanted you to know that the humans have kept me well and the sailing has been gentle.  Of course my fishing luck has rubbed off on them and they are quickly filling the freezer with tuna.  The female got a ‘whopper’.  I will fill you in with the photos as soon as I can.

Opps, fuel full and the humans are ready to get going again.  Back to ‘plastic fantastic’ as a peeing post.

Oh, and by the way.  The humans did run aground getting in here.  Ask me later about that one.  Silly humans, always mucking things up.  Obviously they got it off, because we are off again.  Hopefully they do not run aground getting out of here!

Wish me luck!
