Yesterday—No thunder and little rain.

But a big squall followed by 40 plus knots of wind. About 10 p.m. we headed out into the maelstrom, to the dock, to find spray flying and the boats rolling. With Martin's help we got more lines on Heliotrope, Sophia, and the Windrider.

Martin had just brought his 28 foot boat in from its mooring out around the point of the bay's eastern arm, and he had a hard go of it. He was then planning to walk the three or four miles back to his property (around the far point of land to the right in the photo above), and the tent in which he's been living all summer, be we intervened and gave him a ride.

Today—lovely cool and breezy day, with clouds and sun, followed by home-made pizza with J& ME, and Murray and Elaine.
