The high water finally crest on Saturday at just over 18′ ( 3′ above flood stage ) and it is now just beginning to come down. Demian and James left for home on February 14th as it became clear it would be awhile before the water was low enough to allow passage under the bridges. It was really great having the two of them on board and spending a whole month together, we had a lot of fun. I will likely spend the rest of the Winter here and put off sailing to Florida and the Bahamas until next Winter. The weather here is warming up with some days in the low 70s. This is a pretty nice spot, close to everything I need. The beach is only a mile and half from here and there’s plenty of places to ride my bike.
