GANNET is now in passage mode. Order is restored, although not everything is yet tied in place. The four jerry cans are filled with water. I am happy.
The transformation took two hours this morning.
I happened across seemingly good waterproof bags at Walmart last year. I used two on my sail to the Chesapeake and bought three more last week. One replaces the bag in which I keep electrical supplies and another replaces the bag in which I stow lunches. One is now a bag in which I stow bags, zip-lock and trash. The other two are filled with clothes, crackers, a tiller pilot and the Torqeedo tiller arm, which are more easily accessible than the duffle bags further forward in which they normally reside.
I did not bike to a supermarket today.
I did bring to GANNET the last of the clothes I had in the storage locker at the condo. I am leaving behind a sleeping bag and our bicycles.
Although there are many fine qualities to life here and mostly friendly people, I will sail from Hilton Head Island with the prospect that I may never return. If I don’t, I will miss my bicycle, which is the nicest I have owned.

I downloaded a GRIB in LuckGrib an hour ago.
I will download another tomorrow, but from what I am seeing today, it seems likely that we will not depart this week.
