Day 188 - Preparing for Andrea

(Received Sat. 9:15 A.M., last word is they are moving north again)

Good morning,

The mood has changed again.  We learned last night that this 2nd system we have been watching which seems to be big, fast, and ugly is actually the remnants of a hurricane.  Hard to describe the emotion that term invokes out here where we are.   Our intentions of just a few days ago were going to put us right in the eye.  So we put the brakes on so to speak and have hove-to to gather information rest and prep for the next move, if any.

This morning we put a double reef in the main and changed out the genoa for our working jib.  We tested things out and furled the jib tightly.  We made a nice line for lashing the steering wheel.  Working on many other odds and ends but will also try to get as much food and sleep in the bank as we can.
