The crossing that got away

It was looking good to go across tomorrow, until the front sped up. It leaves us with a 4-5 hour window to cross and that isn't going to cut it. Since we normally don't push Freedom to 15 knots anymore, there is some hesitation to run at that speed for several hours.
So we're gonna sit this one out. At some point we will look at things and if the future leaves us nothing but short windows we will opt out and head further south. Heck, we can fly home for xmas easily then, and pick up the car, and look around for a place to live down here. Hmm...
Anyway, that would not be the Bahamas and this doesn't sit well with either of us.
