It's a No-Go Today

2/18/07 – We awoke to a frightfully wet and windy storm this morning and being the prudent mariners that we are we listened to the NOAA weather forecast on VHF. It’s a no-go today; seas in the bay at 4-6 feet and winds up to 30 knots, so we stay one more day at the Sweetwater Landing just outside Fort Myers. It’s a good thing to know when to go and when to stay. The rain stopped and even though the skies are clear, the winds intensified to gale force this afternoon. We managed to get out and take a little stroll and were very surprised to find white caps on the canal. The winds finally settled down and we had a good nights sleep.
