Bar Crossing Set for Thursday

Katja writing: Decision was made: Coby was too tired to cross the bar -- especially with the couple of hours more work needed. A day of light work and rest is called for. This choice was re-enforced when an anchor was dropped by accident-- without its chain! 

This morning Dave Hewitt, a  friend here to see Coby off, retrieved it. Very helpful that Dave is a dive master! 

We decided to spend the night on land -- and found the delightful and newly re-opened Commodore Hotel.

How wonderful to have all these good friends around us!  Some couldn't wait until tomorrow, and are disappointed that they won't see the actual crossing -- but they understand the decision.

    Coby:
    My wife and I were at the observation tower on the south point when you made your way out of the channel. We took photos of your ship as you cleared the point and headed to sea. We wish you fair winds and following seas!
