This is for the section of the bay near our home and departure point, further south near the mouth of the bay they are calling for 7-8 seas, "yikes". Which is a big deal in the bay, unlike the ocean, where because of generally shallow water, the waves are close together and very abrupt.

Soooo we are working as if we are leaving Thursday but think it is unlikely. But much work to get done before departure.

Patiently waiting in Kilmarnock Va
