Weather Windows

Well its been a funny Christmas holiday as far as the weather is concerned.  Usually we are very lucky in Bermuda and have beautiful days both Christmas and New Years.  However we have had a cold front come through this holiday that has really messed around with our boating plans.

Christmas eve was 18-22, Christmas Day even worse, then it calmed down for Boxing Day and the next day, picked back up again yesterday and then back down today.  Tomorrow is supposed to be gorgeous as well and of course these days are back to working days before the weekend when i'm sure the weather will plan to act up again ruining our time off with daddy and boating weather!

Thankfully we did make it out to Adam's spot the day after boxing day and wished him a Merry Christmas.  Julie, Abbie and Mark all jumped in but I opted for manning the boat while they swam as I am a chicken and do not tolerate cold well! Sea surface temperature is a little less than 70 and at about two miles out in deep dark blue water its even colder than that!

It was a good ride out though and we were glad we seized the moment when we did. I wonder sometimes if Adam hadn't had died how much deep sea boating we would have ever actually done.  It seems a shame it took that to send us out there.  However on the positive side, he has already opened our horizons and taught us so much in only a year of his absence..... and I know he will continue to.  R.I.P. Adam- we love you always.
