Clewiston, Weather Day 4

Clewiston, Weather Day 4

Gale warnings and gusts predicted to 36 MPH have us deciding to stay put here at Rolands’ and extend another two nights. There are a few hard core bass fisherpersons…this is the ‘bass fishing capital of the world’. There are lots of fishing guides, but for $1,500 Roland Martin himself will take you and a buddy out for the day in his bass boat.

We have everything we need with RR and showers nearby. Most of the front should be over in 48 hours. Pink Shell marina in FMB has a long fetch of exposure to these Northerly winds, so there’s not much sense in running down there. This afternoon the winds have moderated to 10-15 for a while but will get back up to Gale force gusts tonight and tommorw. Today we are the largest yacht at this marina!

We had Pedestal Power Pork Roast for dinner (that calls for 400 degrees, which is a bit much for the toaster oven in the boat so we run it on another pedestal). We caught up on some reading, routing and IRS rithmetic (via TurboTax). We might still get back to the FMB marina on Jan 23 (as reserved eight months ago).

Safe Travels and hope to see you at Hontoon!Les mer
