The weather has turned sour. The forecast for the bay was for 25 kt winds with 35 kt gusts along with rain and an occasional thunderstorm thrown in for good measure. In addition to everything else, the wind would have been against the tide. With all that we decided to sit out today in our secure anchorage and do boat chores.
I had three lines that needed an eye and so we got out the book and studied how to do the splicing. I think Ann got the hang of it faster than I did, probably from all the hair braiding she’s done over the years but then again maybe she’s just better at it than me. We planned future stops and studies the likely anchorages hoping for better weather on Tuesday but then again the forecast is not so wonderful, time will tell.

The beach on Hoolie’s island disappeared today with the wind driven high tide out of the south. He had about 1 square foot to do his business in (which he did), poor boy. Well, we’ll move when the weather lets us, we’re not going to fight it. We could have gone to our next anchorage if we pushed, the boat is certainly capable but then why do it if it’s not 100% enjoyable to us?
