Time for some chores. I filled the water tank, washed the
boat, and did some cleaning since Dad and 6-year-old Ben are arriving late this
afternoon.
They arrived around 4:30. We got everything loaded on the
boat, then headed for the grocery store to get food for the next five days.
After stocking up, we returned to the boat, loaded yet more stuff aboard, and
set off for nearby Windy Bay.
Windy Bay is an apt name. Douglass says the wind funnels
over a low spit of land and accelerates through the bay, and it sure felt like
it. I’d estimate 25+ knot winds all night. With 4:1 scope, we didn’t drag an
inch. The anchorage at Windy Bay is quite scenic, with a beautiful cliff on one
side and a small grassy area at the head. That said, the wind makes it
unpleasant for exploring. The small chop didn’t result in any uncomfortable
rolling, but it slapped noisily on the hull all night.
