2010-05-09 Midwatch #2 aboard Magnolia

Magnolia is currently motor sailing off Key Largo in the Hawk Channel under single reefed main. We have 273nm under our keel thus far. I have not had the opportunity to upload a track yet but will try to do so on Monday. We are making good progress with excellent weather thus far. Conditions on Tuesday look unfavorable are planning to head into a marina on monday evenning likely in Lake Worth-Palm Beach area. Weds conditions will improve.

Greg and Marie have been excellent and have shared their 30 plus years of sailing experience. They live full time on a boat of this very size. It was very nice of them to leave their boat and come sailing to make sure Magnolia finds her way home safely.

Prior to departing Tampa we took delivery of our Caribe 9ft Dingy. We have named her Blossom. I am sure you see my finger prints all over this naming thing!! Blossom is currently hoisted aboard and resting comfortable on the fore deck.

All for now!!! Have to go navigate!!
