Waiting for Godot - (meaning GOoD weather TO cross The Mona Passage)- forever??

The wind is howling at more than 25kts and it rains on and off the whole day. The forecast does not show any improvement until next week but the truth is I don't think we could find a better place to be stuck than here.
In the meantime there are a lot of boat fixes to be done. The electronics are on strike. Juan has been trying all of his tricks and all he gets is a failure message on the autopilot screen. He has redone all the connections and says he has no idea what could be wrong. Given that to get to Puerto Rico all we have to do is head East,  we may just have to do it Columbus style - or almost.
The bottom and the propeller are also full of growth. The marina will lend us their compressor for Juan to dive, maybe this afternoon to try and get rid of the worst. Then there are the sails to be hoisted, and I am sure plenty of other chores. The worst part is that Sweet Tides and Elza are also stuck in Georgetown, so we can't even say we are waiting for them.
In the meantime, and between chores, there's the beach, and the swimming pool and a sports club where I am going to try the "power dancing" tonight.
