Hello from Taravana,

We are back where we started this morning but the crew has changed. Alison drove down with new food supplies and the greatest new crew member in the known universe. Page was exchanged for Will in what seemed to be an even exchange (we'll later discover it was a strategic move by El Capitan).

The wind has not let up!!! We left this morning with 25 knots winds and made it to Figure Eight Bridge but the bridge would not open. Stuart's greatest accomplishment of the day was his brief hiatus from his bed to eat breakfast (Gary = not pleased). A local resident of Figure Eight had the bridge closed after complaining of the high winds. After fighting the wind it was apparent they were not going to open and we returned to the Harbour Village Marina to clean the boat, fix some things and exchange crew members. The wind grew to 30 to 40 Knots and is still blowing. It is suppose to settle down tonight so we can leave tomorrow. The wind tonight is still 35 knots, but we had a great sunset. We've been relaxing inside most of the day reading, napping, and playing Trainwreck. Now for Cornish Hen for dinner.
