Weather: The 20+ knot wind which began yesterday, dropped down to 12 – 15 knots by wake up time; After early clouds, it was mostly sunny until it clouded over by the evening; the low temp was in the low 60s and the high was in the low 70s.

Comment: Today’s activities included a walk, participation in conversation at the marina, relaxing aboard and dinner and a movie (Valkyrie) at the local theater.

It is predicted that the wind will be strong (in the 30 knot range) for the next two or three days. Traveling to shore in the dinghy in those kinds of winds can make for a wet ride. Of course, we can suit up in foul weather gear, but we’ll typically stay on board and do boat chores. Right now, the boat interior needs dusting and on the outside, the stainless steel needs cleaning. Options… we have several!
