It's Blowin' Like Stink! (Day 007)

Weather: It’s howling outside! We’re experiencing every bit of the forecast – 30 – 35 knots wind, gusting to 45 knots; a gray, overcast, damp and generally miserable looking day; rain (in the PM); Temp in the low 60’s – just what you expect in a Nor’Easter.

Comment: We are securely tied to a floating dock and reasonably well protected in the marina. Only a few hundred yards from us, on the other side of the bulkhead, one can see two foot chop and foamy seas in the harbor. I expect the boats in the anchorage are bouncing around a bit.

It is raining, heavy at times, and we are experiencing a bit of movement from the wind generated waves that are in the marina.

It is damp and cool, so we have the electric heater set up outside in the bubble. It is a cozy 68 degrees out there. We are alternating between time in the salon and time in the bubble, working on the computers, playing games and reading. Anna Marie walked the dock before it started raining. I haven’t been off the boat at all! Most likely neither of us will get off in the heavy rain.
