Rough Weather Ahead -

So rumor has it we are supposed to get a good blow coming through here this weekend. This will be our first real wind down here, but I am not totally buying all the hype. My bet is that even the strongest gust will be under 45 knots. Cassidy is betting over 45 knots. People around here seem to be taking it quite seriously, especially the surfers, who keep asking from which direction the 15 foot waves will be coming from!

The cockpit has been roughed in, and glassed over. The new windshields have been installed, and we are feeling good!
We will probably remain in port until the wind subsides, then head out for some serious island exploring!

The current plan is to head over to American Samoa in about 2 weeks depending on the weather.

Courage

Forecast - Wind -
If you look at the below forecast, you can see that we are scheduled for some serious wind. They are claiming 117 mph.
The forecast is still too far out to be accurate, but we are thinking there may be a little more than a breeze!
