Just a 2 1/2 hour motor from Warderick Wells to here. Wind on the nose AGAIN anyway. Lost tip of one boat hook in Warderick Wells and lost the other one here trying to grab a a mooring ball. So dropped anchor kind of in the mooring field. Dinghied out and looked at it with the glass bottom bucket and it is buried so we are solidly set. BUT no one else is here so we are just staying put on anchor. We may very well be the only boat here tonightand maybe for the next several days. Bill is now working on turning one of our wooden closet rods which we used as "push off" poles in the locks into a new boat hook.
