Yesterday we crossed the remainder of the urgent items off of our “To-Do” list, preparing for a 3:00 am Friday departure. Before bed last night we made one last check on the weather, thunderstorms, and offshore forecast. It was at that point that we turned off our alarms and decided to catch up on some sleep. With our early morning departure we would have ran headlong into thunderstorms, strong gusts, and building waves at Cape May.
The thunderstorms are just about ready to hit here, and we’re glad we postponed. The line stretches along most of the East Coast, and would have made for a miserable day. While we’re anxious to depart, we can’t ignore the weather, so we’ll sit here for at least another 24 hours.
On the bright side, I woke up this morning and planned out some things that I actually wanted to do, and not that I needed to do. Hopefully I get a chance to finish those things today during the rain.
Plus, everyone knows it’s bad luck to set sail on a Friday. 🙂
