…more rain and more wind. We have been on the boat for two days waiting for the rain and wind to finally subside. Not only have we been confined to the boat but—because it is rather chilly (by our standards!)—we have been inside the cabin with the companionway closed. We have kept ourselves busy by cleaning the cabin, doing a few other small chores, watching a movie, and reading.

I left my kefir fermenting overnight in the cockpit where it was cooler than the cabin.
It is nice to see the sun again. Looking W across the harbor after we moved to the E side.
Looking E at sunset.
Once the wind dropped below 20 knots late this afternoon we moved over to the other side of the harbor near town. We are looking forward to getting off of the boat tomorrow.
The anchorage last evening when the wind was blowing 30 knots.

Storms can be intimidating when you’re safely inside a house, can’t even imagine how they’d feel on the open sea! You are the ultimate adventurers!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is definitely a different experience going through a storm on a boat. The first year in the Bahamas I was terrified by the storms. Now I am not as afraid, but I do sometimes find them uncomfortable if the boat is bouncing a lot. I also start climbing the walls if I am stuck on the boat for more than 3 days. We both appreciate not having to worry about the weather once we get home.
