Gale

Gale winds the past few days!

Up to 35 knots! It is HOWLING outside, and the wind kicks up the waves even in our harbor, which SLAM against our aft cabin all night. It's hard to sleep.



The rain feels cold, and it gets down to 39 to 40 degrees at night...



If interested, here is a link to a site describing the "Beaufort Scale" of wind and seas

We are happy to be in a protected harbor.

Hopefully this will pass through soon.

  1. I'm glad T got there safely! Enjoy your time together. Isaac and Asher had the couch pillows on the floor today and were pretending to be sailing with you guys. At one point Isaac said," Don't worry, Uncle Brian will get that for you." We can't wait to hear stories in person! Love you!
