Always an Adventure

I am going off Sunday morning. One of my favorite Uncles has passed away, and I need to be with my family.

And Mother Nature hates me.

3-5 foot seas are my max.

15 knot winds, depending on the direction, is all I can handle.

I will be heavily medicated. How many tranquilizers will it take to get me across??

Stay tuned....
