Sunday, April 21, 2013 – Cuckoo in Cocoa:

            We’re still here!  It was windy and stormy last night, and we awoke to another dark and stormy day.  The sky cannot seem to rid itself of the billows of black, dark gray, and “white” storm clouds even though the wind is constantly blowing so hard it should give itself a headache.  Occasionally, there will be a break in the clouds and a glimmer of sun will shine through but it is soon covered up again by a new band of storm clouds.  The temperature is also far from what I would anticipate it should be in Florida in mid April. 

            We went out to dinner last night with our friends from the Annapolis area, and I actually wore long pants and a turtleneck shirt and was quite comfortable if not a little on the cool side. 

            Bob spent the day glaring at the weather websites on the internet, and we are planning, hopefully, to try and leave on Tuesday. 

            Another boat from Annapolis came in here this afternoon.  That makes three boats from the Sailing Club of the Chesapeake who are waiting out the weather in this marina.  We all plan to get together for drinks this afternoon and then maybe go out to the Thai Restaurant again.  The camaraderie of our group makes the weather more bearable, but I think we are all tired of it.  I, jokingly, said to our friends that all this wind means that there won’t be a drop of wind on the Chesapeake Bay this summer when we want it.  Well, at least our sailing friends will want some wind.

            Actually, folks, that’s all I have to write about today.  I don’t even have any good cat stories, except that I think she was mad at us this morning when I didn’t make the bed at her demand.
