waiting for weather

Today we went into a wool shop here in yorktown. FUN, so now I am learning how to spin wool! it's all Becca's fault she showed me her spinning spool (way cool i thought you needed a wheel but you dont!) the woman at the store showed me how to spin and then we went to Becca's and we did it together. just what i need another crafty sport. ...Oh FYI remember all those finger puppets Krissy and I made for the philippians? (well we did) mike told Ben that they expected 50 kids to show and 200 came! oh my! we only made about 115....
back to crafts. So Becca and kids and ben and I just hung out in the afternoon, ate ice cream and then Ben and I went back... I had work-wifi stuff to do and a storm was coming. I hope the storm gets done by morning! our plans are to peek out into the Atlantic for a day or two. so you might not get any blogs. we will write them but we can't post them.
today we also need to plan for our trip. Ben has been looking on line to find the weather and ocean currents/tides so we know which way to go and the weather. He found Oceantides.com or something like that. we are planning to go out into wind as best as possible and against the current, we might stay in one spot but that way we know we will be able to get home. we will check the weather and ocean tides/currents just be fore we go to make sure it is all good. oh and we will get to use and practice our radar on the gps so we can see if we are in any big ships way. we will also have a float plan too. that will be given to Dan wellumson.
right now we are in Ben & Jerry's doing wifi.
that is my day. we will miss Jason and Becca and the kids!
I am thankful for rain and wind! tonight should be a night to get some sleep! i can sleep in a rough wind better than in dead calm with hot. needless to say i am tired and ready to sleep tonight!
love you all always blessed
Pam
