Uncertainty

Uncertainty is a word that Chris Parker uses a lot when forecasting the weather. We know that a front is coming the end of the week, possibly bringing strong west wind, then very strong north wind, but there is a lot of uncertainty with the forecast. The possibility of adverse wind was enough to lead us to decide to head to Bimini. We raised the anchor and are sailing to the northern Exumas. Tomorrow we plan to sail from there overnight to Bimini. The wind is behind us and light so, with a great deal of effort, George unearthed and raised the gennaker, allowing us to turn off the motor and sail.
