Too Much of a Good Thing

It’s a windy day today.  We started off early out of Dol Bay because the winds were forecasted to gust to 40 knots in the afternoon.  We didn’t have far to go to get to Pender Harbour where Sam Needed to be before 1pm to catch his flight back to Seattle.  At that time the winds were blowing 10-15 with seas 1-2 feet with some swell that made life exciting now and then.  An hour or two after we arrived, it really kicked up and showed us the forecasters know their business.  It was nice to be able to watch the flags tearing themselves half to pieces from the comfort of the pub while watching the US Open Final.

Unfortunately for Sam, his flight was cancelled due to the weather, so there was some scrambling to work something else out.  It sounds like he’s got it figured out.  For our part we’re trying to decide if we want to plow across Georgia Strait tomorrow in the remnants of the storm or wait for smoother conditions.  I guess we’ll wait until tomorrow to see how things look.

In the mean time, John Henry Marina is quite comfortable.  We can fill our tanks, take showers, and reprovision.  We have less than a week left!
