This morning we are on our way to Kilarney via Little Current. It’s cloudy & raining a bit but the visibility is good. Our journey to Kilarney should take us about 5 hours.<\/p>\n

We made it to Little Current just in time to get through the 1:00 opening of the swing bridge there otherwise we would have had to wait another hour for the next scheduled opening.<\/p>\n

We are now passing by the south side of Heywood Island. Prior to this we were in winds the were ranging from 15 to 20 knots (including our 7 knot boat speed into the wind).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We track our wind direction & speed using a wireless anemometer mounted on the top of the main mast. It “broadcasts” a signal to the receiver inside the pilothouse. This is a great little device. (It should be for what it cost!)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>When we have the wind on “our nose” like this & the waves begin to build & the ride can get a little bit rougher but we are warm & dry inside the pilothouse.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The forecast for this afternoon is clearing, with the winds subsiding & the sun coming out. Just in time for us to arrive at our destination, make the boat secure on the dock & mark the occasion with a nip of something special.<\/p>\n

Cheers everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
