5:25 EDT N 27.59 W 80.27 COG 164 at 5.4 kts.
We left Cape Canaveral (actually the Habortown Marnina on Merrit Island, they have the best rates around) at 10 this morning and we are currently motoring towards Lake Worth Inlet. The forecast was for West winds 10-15kts in the afternoon becoming North West 15-20 tonight. So far none of that has been correct. We had South winds most of the day and there is nothing right now.
I would much rather be sailing than motoring, but having the engine on gives us enough electricity to have on two computers. Nicole is watching Grey's Anatomy and I am surfing the web. We just finished our dinner (Linguine with Italian Sausage) and we will be settling into our watch schedule soon.
Lake Worth is an exciting destination for us because it is considered the first "good" crossing point to get to the Bahamas. We may decide to continue on to Miami and make the crossing. It will depend on the weather and how anxious we are to get to some warm weather. It is cool to think that we are less than 48 hours of sailing time away from Grand Bahama.

Well if you guys decide to keep goin south to Miami, come see us! It's cold here too... looks like we all needed to get further south!
We are forever amazed at how often wind directions in the forecast are just plain wrong! We get all excited about 20-25 knot wind predictions (our Knotty Cat loves a good breeze) and then find ourselves sitting in the middle of the Chesapeake with nothing!
