Happily, the answer finally appears to be yes. For several days running, the forecast for Tuesday and the week beyond looks good, so we're anticipating a Tuesday AM departure. We've been whittling down the to-do list for the past week and Minimus has never been so ready.
Major on that list has been the self steering. We discovered that one of the control lines was twisted in a way that caused it to malfunction, so we're cautiously optimistic that between fixing that and building more adjustability into the system, it might just work this time. If so, that would be huge. We'll be reporting on it via text enroute.
Speaking of texting, we realize that some folks haven't been able to reach us via text. We spent some time yesterday learning the ins and outs of our satellite texting system. We posted a new set of directions on the "Contact Us" page, which can be accessed in the menu at the top of this page.
By the way, all the boats in the outer anchorage survived Friday's storm. It peaked not long after dark, then quickly dissipated during the night.
We'll post once more before leaving, probably on Monday.
As if gale force winds and torrential rains weren't enough . . . ¿¡¿Kidney stones?!? You always were a little dramatic, EEH :-)
