26Feb2013

Normandie and I were talking about loved ones who recently deceased, and what they most loved in life. After some discussion, I posed the question, "Does heaven have an outdoor shower?" To which Normandie responded, "Heaven IS an outdoor shower."
  Well let me tell you, a cockpit shower, with lots of wonderful hot water, after however long it has been, is heaven. We use a garden sprayer, attached to it is one of those things you spray out your kitchen sink. Heat the water to 102 degrees (Measured) and it is truly wonderful.
  It was in the low 80's in New Smyrna Beach today. I am anchored just inside Ponce de Leon Inlet. (Go to: Adventtwo.blogspot.com    upper right corner, "Location"). Warm today, warm tomorrow with rain. The decision is whether to stay put, continue south on the ICW, or to sail for Bahamas. Wed, Th Fri & Sat are good for sailing for the Bahamas, but everything turns bad on Sunday.....
  I know nothing about the debris field reported yesterday. After dark I passed about 6 miles away and I could see lights of a helicopter and two boats searching the area. At 20:00 the helicopter left the scene and flew right over me going back to base. Out here one hears a lot of drama: sinking, fire, medical emergency (most frequent) and only rarely is the outcome learned.
  It is raining pretty hard outside. Inside the cabin I am dry, warm, and clean and cozy. I wish you were here.
