So, today was to be the start of our new canal adventure. Just a couple of miles of open water to get there. I woke up and thought, "Wow, it's really breezy." Fired up the computer and saw this forecast: SOUTH WIND 15 TO 25 KNOTS THIS MORNING, INCREASING TO 25 TO 35 KNOTS THIS AFTERNOON WITH HIGHER GUSTS. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT. Now I don't have a wind instrument with the mast down, but I could tell that at least the first part of that forecast was correct. "Yes Mr. Davis, we'd love to have you stay another night." Tomorrow looks much more serene. It was nice to be able to take it easy after busting our humps yesterday.
Spent over an hour finding a sweet cell spot (the locals say the crappy cell coverage has to do with the proximity to Canada). Called Verizon and changed over to the Canada calling plan and asked about using the I-Phone. They said if you use data when you're locked into a CanTel tower, the charge is $5 Canadian per megabyte. They do offer 100 megabytes for $25, but you need to turn the data off on your phone when you aren't using it, or you'll suck that up in no time. Then to sign up I had to remove the SIMM card from the phone (who knew it had one?) and give them the number printed on the card to activate the plan. You folks with unlimited calling and text might have a different deal, but I'd call Verizon and ask, I'm just sayin.
