Wind!

So we wake up this morning to a "wind advisory." NOAA was saying that winds were expected to run about 25 knots this afternoon. Of course NOAA was wrong. The wind was running about 30 most of the day.
As a result we pulled anchor and checked into the city marina at Ft. Pierce. Thinking about being at anchor in 30 knot winds doesn't seem like fun.
We will stay here at least through tomorrow so the cold front can pass.
We made use of the stop by getting laundry done and checking out happy hour at Cobb's Landing. Great beer - Iniquity Black Ale - and great munchies - blackened shrimp & bacon flat bread - but way too much money.
Tomorrow, there's a great farmer's market, so we'll stock up on bread, veggies & meat for the rest of the voyage.
So now that we're 4 or 5 days behind schedule, we'll have to hustle to get to Brunswick before the month is out.
More tomorrow.
