We are getting used to FLD now but don’t ever think that you can walk anywhere. Just around the corner is usually at least three blocks and when someone says that its only 10 minutes away, that is by car.

 

We have looked at options for getting to Washington and have now ruled out sailing, we need sail repairs which won’t be ready till the end of the week and that’s when the weather turns against us so that doesn’t allow enough time until Norm US visa runs out on the 4 June. Flying is an option but that’s a bit boring, so Norm and I are going to hit the road. We have ruled out the Harley D in favour of something more conventional from Enterprise. We reckon that we will be heading off on Thursday. Tomorrow we are going to move RT to a swinging mooring, a bit cheaper and I’m going diving on Wednesday.

 

Today we were visited by Jean and Ron, my sister and brother in law who are holidaying a few hours away. They helped out taking us to the sail makers and to get some new ropes for the head sail which were previously a disgrace.

 

To night we will recce the swinging mooring site to check there are some free. Temperatures today hit mid 30s, a bit hot.
