Brad got up several times to check the boat, one line broke free so he secure it and that was good since we were headed towards the pilings. We have a small rain leak by our bed that will need to be addressed but other than that all is well. Now that is why you go to the Marine when a storm is coming or at minimum a mooring. Because those of you with us last year may remember the dragging anchor syndrome in White Sound. Anyway we have another rain burst coming to us this morning and then we are back to good weather for the next week or so. Back to exploring the Abacos. We will head to Little at the end of the month then jump to Eleuthera and Spanish Wells. So the wind continues through the day increasing as it goes along, it is now averaging 30-40 knots. I am making a spot in the marina office to get off the boat for a while. Today was one of those Sturgeon types of days, last season I only had to take the medication a couple of times, again in the month  of Jan due to bad weather. So next year we will probably not come here until the end of Jan and stay through May to the first week in June. The northerlies are just too strong in Jan for my taste. We are of course still talking about moving the boat to the BVI, but getting there is the issue. I don't really want to do the Mona Passage to Puerto Rico. Maybe Brad will get a professional Captain to help him take it there. Who knows what we   will end up doing. I do love the Bahamas but not the weather right now. Anyway C'est la Vie, Sail La Vie, such is life.  What will be will be, the futures not ours to see qui sera sera, whatever will be will be.  We shall see or is it sea...Ciao Bella
