well this morning we dragged our selves out of bed around well after 9am again. alas we missed the local "cruisers net" at 9am on chan 69. it was pretty calm so karli decided to do her yoga before we headed over to the marina. as she was doing this i got a few blog posts out. alas by the time we got underway around noon it was really blowing gusts to 20kts as we motored the less then 1nm back to the marina. of course in spite of this short distance the boat got covered in salt!
it was not and we managed to get back into our previous spot. not quite as smoothly as the first time but no yelling and no crunching. we had a few spectators on the dock by the time which was great as the marina elected to not send anyone down to help with the lines. after we got in the weather proceeded to get nastier and nastier with the marina reporting may boats had called to cancel after turning back because the weather was so bad. its great make the call to come into a marina and then have the weather get worse!
tomorrow i will try to find a welder, how hard can this be?
cheers, roger
