Today is Canada Day...Canada is 144 years old. Today is also the 10th day in a row that we have had rain. Today also happens to be the crappiest weather day that we have had...rain on and off all day with strong southeast winds. And cold, too, barely above 60 degrees. We are snug and protected in the anchorage at Gorge Harbor. Lorrie has beat me in three straight games of Scrabble. And we made brownies! A couple of days ago, we made a short run from Rebecca Spit to Gorge Harbor. Although it was only 8 miles, it was a nice sailing run with a northwest wind. We had a nice reach in 12-15 knots of wind. There is a marina here that reminds me of Deer Harbor on Orcas Island where we used to take the kids when they were younger. Mostly because they have a pool and the kids got a kick out of getting off the boat and going swimming. Gorge Harbor Marina is like that...since it is a holiday, the docks are full of family cruisers out for the holiday weekend. And despite the rain, the kids love the pool! There is also a restaurant, small store and laundry where we did our 5 loads that had piled up over the past few weeks. Our time is getting short and we have started our way south towards home one anchorage at a time and plan to be home sometime in the middle of the month, probably just in time for the sun to shine!
