 It's going to be windy down here again and here is a site that we use to get a feeling for our weather forecast. This particular frame from the marine weather site  indicates we're going to have a gale warning. By the way they are issued when the winds are going to be 34 to 47 knots. With the wind out of the West we are well positioned to receive this even though that is by chance given this is the weather we are talking about.
 That being the case, we are going take the ferry over to Marsh Harbour for some parts and other supplies. Aulbury ferries are reliable and frequent to most of the larger Cays around Abaco and they offer frequent traveler rates. Even though Marsh Harbour is close by, if we were to take Freedom over to Marsh for some shopping every now and then we'd go broke fast.
 It should be an interesting ride because the Sea of Abaco has been a mess lately with 20k (+) winds on a regular basis and we know what that's like.
  Thankfully we had a new enclosure made up for Freedom before we took her South last year. After our ride across the Sea of Abaco in December we found salt water in many places aboard Freedom.
