Today was a day or resting and catching up. I slept in until 7:00, then took care of a number of little projects, a process I refer to as, "puttering." My putterings included some weather research and the laying of track lines as far a Key West. An assessment of the weather indicated a 10:00 departure tomorrow (Friday) morning, with the goal of reaching Sapelo Sound, GA Saturday afternoon. I'll overnight there, then continue south on Sunday when the winds are again favorable. I just hope this batch of forecasters has done a better job than the one that got me caught in that mess the night before last.
I happened to notice the old Coast Guard Cutter INGHAM being towed past Alana's anchorage this afternoon. Believe it or not I once had orders to that ship before trading them to an "A"-school classmate. This may rate as one of the finest decisions I ever made, as I ended up on the cutter BEAR, which I enjoyed, and my classmate never got underway on INGHAM which was very much nearing the end of its useful life. Here is a link to some information of INGHAM for those few who may be interested: http://semperparatus.com/cutter_ingham.html
