Squalls

We woke up yesterday morning in Little Bay to squalls and a rainbow. The wind had shifted just south of east so it began to get a little bouncy in the anchorage. We decided to move back to Black Point where there is more protection from southerly winds. At mid-day we went for a walk with Jean and Michael. We stopped at the blow hole which was happened to be putting on a show. Another squall rolled in so we stood under a shelter at a small cemetery. When it stopped we continued our walk. The skies really opened up on our way back so we stood on the porch of a cottage to stay dry. We walked back to our dinghies between squalls but another started so we were soaked by the time we returned to Breeze On. The squalls continued off and on all night and all day today. We finally put up the awnings so we could at least keep the hatches open for air circulation. We were convinced that the squalls would stop once we had put them up but they have not.
