A Harbor Day

Are we glad we chose to stay put.

Last night, the weather chose to get with it a bit--interrupting our plans to head up to Reid Inlet to hike to the glacier. About 2am the wind decided to start blowing, a pretty steady 15 with the wind increasing throughout the night up to a steady 20 gusting 30 as I type this. Talking to other boaters who just ran into this bay for cover, it sounds like it is 5-6 footers out in the bay right now, further cementing the reasonableness of our decision to just call it a harbor day and hope for better weather tomorrow. The forecast we do have is calling for the wind to increase overnight so we need to be in a well sheltered harbor right now for comfort as well as safety. The upper bay doesn't have that many good anchorages that are ice free that are well protected from a strong southerly in our opinion. Oh well.

So, today we took our time, made some sourdough pancakes for breakfast, then made a fresh loaf of bread (its baking right now - yum!) and watched a couple of movies with the kids..

The movies of the day so far have been "The Princess Diaries" and "Captain Ron". Both were a lot of fun. Now to break out some games and see how we can while away the bad weather.

Still anchored in Blue Mouse Cove! Here's hoping we can move on tomorrow!
