As they say at Nippers Time Flies

 While you're having rum. With that Rich is gone and we are back at Orchid Bay. After some clean up and dealing with parts coming via Fedex we went to Nippers and looked over the ocean. It was a bit rough, certainly beyond what we'd want to experience. But the view was good and so were the frozen nippers so we each and one and split another.
 Afterwards it was back to the boat where we did some cleaning and thought about where we'd be next and for how long. After January expires our plan is wide open so who knows where we wind up. Given Village Marine got the new membranes for our water maker delivered today some of the itinerary depends on the quality of water we get. If it's good we have no excuses and will try to push further South. How that all happens we don't know because the Atlantic is about as fickle as anything gets. But we could circumvent part of this by back tracking and doing the canal. Once in Lucaya we could head South in the lee of the Bahamas until we hit the Berry's and then on to Nassau. Having seen the likes of Little Harbour inlet with a gale blowing we question whether or not we want to pursue the Eastern path to Eluthera or the Western Path.
 Time will tell.
