Today was suppose to be our weather window to cross to the US, but the wind is howling here at Green Turtle Cay. I think we are in danger of becoming Green Turtles! When the weather breaks there will be a mass exodus, as many other boaters are waiting on both sides to cross, so it will be a flotilla going and coming. Our big entertainment is to smugly watch as other boats try to dock in the wind, crashing into pilings, other boats, etc. We don't tell them we had the same issues! A sailboat next to me managed to get caught sideways in the slip, and trapped between the pilings. The husband and wife were having a rather strained conversation. It was all hands on deck, and we (other boaters and the dock hands) managed to get them off with only their pride damaged.
Our friends and intrepid sailors on the
Calypso, made the crossing yesterday, and this is a link to their blog post:

| We are the black boat symbol. The tornado warning is where we want to go... Oh well. The old adage that the most dangerous thing on a boat is a schedule is true. We wait. |
