The
wind bounced us a lot last night...I slept through most
of it but Walter was awake part of the time tending lines... trying
to make them stop squeaking. This morning I found that a few things
had fallen from their places here and there on the boat proving we
did move around a lot.
It was 42 degrees and the wind continued to
blow us around in our slip and didn't let up at the expected time of
9a. Then we heard there were 2 foot waves in the long lake we had to
cross today. Two foot waves are not bad and we will probably have
that and even 3 foot waves in the Gulf Crossing but it is the
direction that the waves hit the boat that makes it a problem. With
the wind coming from the north today those waves would have hit us
abeam... from the side which rolls the boat the worse. This would
have been very uncomfortable on the long nearly 8 hour day. So we
elected to stay in port..... so glad we were not anchored out!
Beautiful
Sky tonight... we have noticed the sunsets more on the water than on
land... we never get tired of them. It's like God saying, “Sleep
well, I've got the Night... I'll be there in the day for you, too.“
