Highborn Cay Tuesday, Jan28

Chris here

I have not been blogging recently and there are a million excuses but I wanted to get on quick while we are here at Highborne and have internet access. 

Despite Kerm's wailing and angsty posts we are doing great.  We have food, water and a battery to start the motor...all the rest is incidental.  We anchored out at Norman's Cay for a long stretch and were able to maintain power very nicely thanks to 'Riley'.  Riley is the new name for our generator, named after Joe Riley at Windmill Marina who bothered Kerm all summer long about getting one installed.  Thanks, Joe Riley and Joe Hauser and Joe Hauser Jr.  all without whom we would be generator-less.

We came to Highborne Cay Marina so we could get the satellite phone/email connection sorted out.  We need that for receiving weather information from Chris Parker, the weather guru for the Bahamas.  A long hot shower was also very wonderful.  The sat shone is also good to have for emergency contacts from home.
