Manatees!

We have moved back on to Breeze On once again and are preparing to head north. I have prepared food for the passage and George has been attempting to fix the Wirie WiFi booster and prepare weather routing plans. While we were eating our dinner in the cockpit this afternoon I looked up and saw a large manatee and small calf swimming toward the stern of our boat. So exciting!  While they disappeared under the boat George ran up to the bow with his phone to see if he could get a photo. He took a picture as they emerged from under the bow. In his haste he also took a picture of his finger, but I think it is a great picture anyway. 

Up until a few minutes ago we had been planning to leave tomorrow morning. A line of nasty squalls is forecast for the area north of Canaveral on Friday and we don’t want to be anywhere near the squalls. We are therefore postponing our departure until Friday morning and hope to get to either Cape Fear or Cape Lookout by the end of the day Monday. Stay tuned...
