So the reason we are still in Cleveland is due to weather:

A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING...THEN SHOWERS LIKELY AFTER MIDNIGHT.WAVES 4 TO 6 FEET. .TUESDAY...WEST WINDS 10 TO 20 KNOTS INCREASING TO 15 TO 25 KNOTS.SHOWERS LIKELY. THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY IN THE AFTERNOON. WAVES 4 TO6 FEET. .TUESDAY NIGHT...WEST WINDS 10 TO 20 KNOTS. SHOWERS ANDTHUNDERSTORMS LIKELY IN THE EVENING...THEN A CHANCE OF SHOWERSOVERNIGHT. WAVES 4 TO 6 FEET SUBSIDING TO 2 TO 4 FEET..WEDNESDAY...WEST WINDS 5 TO 15 KNOTS BECOMING SOUTHWEST 10 TO20 KNOTS. CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS. A CHANCE OFTHUNDERSTORMS IN THE AFTERNOON. WAVES 2 TO 4 FEET SUBSIDING TO 1TO 3 FEET.
So perhaps we will go on Wed. Bottom line is: it just doesn't matter :-) In the meantime we are continuing to find homes for everything that was just stuffed into the front cabin. Definitely making headway. We will be going to Akron tomorrow to pick up a new engine for the dinghy.

Retirement is Near!

I have one more cabinet to clean out, 1 more student to meet and graduation to go to and then it's that great feeling of "Free at Last" !! The boat is not quite ready to leave yet - and we will be going to Boise to cheer Matt on as he runs his 70.3 Ironman. Return on June 14th and then will be leaving Cleveland for the west end of Lake Erie.
