Subject: Bimini Weather Window!
Well the next slack tide was at 4pm. The s/vElCamino told Captain Steve that he
spoke to the dock master about being so close.
The dock master said that he never heard of any boats colliding, to
which his wife replied “There is always a first time.” So while his wife napped , he sat in the salon checking
the weather and watching our boat through the sliding glass doors. Captain Steve put the TV though the hatch on
the aft deck and watched the football game and s/vEl Camino. I wanted to keep busy so I made bread and German ptoato salad. Evey now and then I checked in with my 'go to girl', just to make sure she was still with us.
I don’t know who won the game, let alone who was playing but I do know s/vElCamino didn’t come near us.

So we went to bed, after setting the alarm for 3:30am. When the alarm went off, the lights were on
in s/vElCamino so we thought that they had the same idea, set the alarm to
check the tide. and the boats. Captain Steve and I stayed
on deck for about an hour all the while none of the boats moved - they were actually pretty far away from each other. Every once in a while the Captain from
s/vElCamino would look out at the boats.
So we set the alarm for 5am and went below. It seemed I just fell back to sleep when I
head an engine that was close. by. My first
thought was that we were too close and s/vElCamino started it’s engines to pull
away. We raced on deck and found the boat
was pretty far away and the Captain was securing the deck in preparation to leave! Whopeeeeeeeeeee he got his weather
window! We wished them good sailing and
went to bed!
Sea u later!
Now to find our weather window!
