 We woke up to a beautiful sunny morning. The wind was still blowing, but not nearly as hard as had been predicted. Several of the local sailors in the marina were tying their boats up more securely in anticipation of a big blow later in the day. One neighbor advised us about how the wind would come in to the marina during a big blow and offered some suggestions as to how we could make Ananda more secure in her berth. We followed the fellow’s advice and added more lines. |
 I went up to the marina office and arranged for us to stay another day. We were disappointed that we would not make any further progress down river but better to be safe than sorry. As the day progressed the weather got better and better. By mid afternoon it was becoming very obvious that this area was not going to be hit by a storm and that we would have been fine if we left first thing in the morning. Oh well, that’s the way things go sometimes. Besides, another day in port gave me an opportunity to catch up on writing my blog. |
