Tough Going!

Thursday, February 5, 3015     Not Again!

The hook was up at 0700 and M/V Sunshine headed out Sisters Creek. Outside, we found rollers and 12 to 15 knot wind out of the south. Yesterday's whitecaps are gone and it looks pleasant enough. Looks can be deceiving! Among the rollers, we found a stiff chop with three foot waves. Once again, the boat crashed down so hard that the GPS unit shut off. It powered right up again, but it is disconcerting to have that happen. These conditions persisted until we passed East Sister Rock. That took less than ten minutes.

For the rest of the seven mile trip, we just had to deal with the rollers. They weren't too bad. The boat was secured in the slip and plugged into electric by 0830. Now we'll kick back and rest for an hour or so before we go to coloring this side of Marathon.

At 1015, it started to rain. It saved us from washing the boat. When the rain is finished, all the salt should be gone. 

Well, the boat got a good bath. It rained the rest of the day.
