She's fast, but not that fast. On a good day, I can get 10 out of here.

Just chilling out and waiting for better weather.

Gary that must be the boring part of sailing waiting out the weather when you could be sailing the high seas !!!! at least do you have your Yamaha S970 to keep you busy and play music on board with some
kick-a-poo joy juice??

Nah, left the keyboard home-just brought food and booze. Lots of good looking girls in skimpy bikinis passing by every few minutes, though. Never booring.

Shhhhhhhhhh hope carol ain't reading this

Well, the winds finally died down to a reasonable velocity, about 12 to 15 MPH, however, the temperature rapidly rose after a brief thundershower blasted through yesterday afternoon. The mercury soared to 92 and the relative humidity rose to 85 percent, which is akin to stepping into a sauna. This will followed by a Code Red air pollution alert, which Maryland is famous for. We have the worst air pollution in the US right here in the People's Republic Of Maryland, yet it largely goes unreported.

The above combination is difficult for a person that is in relatively good health, but when your lungs are shot to Hell from asbestos and you have lost more than 60 percent of your lung capacity, these conditions make it impossible to breathe, even with the assistance of subliminal oxygen flowing at 3 liters per minute. Because of this, and with a promise of more to come during the ensuing week, I decided to err on the side of caution, turn around and head home, which took the entire day under motor power.

More to come,

Gary...Better to be safe then sorry too bad your trip didn't pan out for you..

Donny, Last night was almost unbearable. I was pretty much unable to breathe all night long, and thought it would be my last night on the planet. Now, my damned computer is crashing. I hate the thought of replacing it, but this will likely be the case unless something miraculous happens by tomorrow morning.
