Off the Boat, At Last

This morning we ventured to shore for the first time in three days. It was still quite windy and choppy but we needed to pick up our friends, Doug and Laura, at the airport. Once we got the dinghy in the water and the motor on the dinghy, the ride to shore wasn’t as bad as we thought it would be. We went into an area we call “the cove”. We thought the water would be calmer there and it would be easier loading their luggage onto the dinghy from there. Since we were renting a car to pick them up we also took the opportunity to do our laundry at a laundromat 30 minutes away. After we met them at the airport we stopped at the Forest Takeaway for our late lunch/early dinner. We returned to Thompson Bay by the late afternoon before the sun set. George took three trips with the dinghy to get the four of us, our laundry and their luggage to the boat. The weather forecast has been so uncertain that we aren’t sure where we are going from here. We have a tentative plan, but it could always change.
