Provisioning-- mostly

Day 1: We board Nellie with literally a ton of provisions. Stowing them and our gear (and a three mile walk through town) exhausts us. While there's a great anchorage 300 yards from the slip we elect to stay tied to the dock for this evening. Having shore power and thus air conditioning is a definite bonus.

What looked like a potential weather window for the Bahamas was nothing but a chimera. The winds dropped but the sea state didn't. The seven day forecast shows more of the same. Time to consider some other options.

In Palm Harbor Marina, West Palm Beach, FL. 0 nm today and 0nm for the trip. DBH
