Still in No Name Harbor

The weather has been terrible this past week. It has poured rain and the wind has been in the upper 20's with gusts in the 30's. We had planned to leave this past Monday and started out. The weather forecast for that day had looked pretty good but it wasn't as forecast when we got out into the ocean. We saw lightning and the wind was 25 right in our faces. After getting our butts kicked by 5-7 foot waves we retreated back into No Name. There is no shame in retreating. It is now looking like we will be able to leave this Saturday.

During the week this place is a serene little anchorage. On the weekends it is party harbor with a whole lot of million dollar power boats coming in. Loud music and lots of noise. I have never seen so many blond Cuban woman in all my life.

Here are a couple of photos of the harbor during the week. There are 13 sailboats here and one power trawler. Most of the boats are waiting ot go north. At least one is waiting to cross to the Bahamas. They have been waiting for a couple of weeks now. This same boat was in Marathon when we were. A couple of the other boats were in Marathon too and have been here since we got here.
