Sunday - August 15, 2010

Woke up this morning and checked the weather report on Environment Canada. Strong wind warning with winds building up after 12 from the southwest and going to west 20 to 35 kn. The consideration was to stay in Gore Bay or hang on the hook later on when the winds started building. Waves were estimated to go between 2 and 3 metres. Decided to stay put. As I have previously mentioned we have no time limits other than we would like to be out of Lake Michigan by September 7 give or take a few days. Fortunately, made the right decision since the 1:30 report issued a squall warning with gusts up to 45 kn. The couple that went to the play with last night left because they have to get their granddaughter to Blind River to catch a plane home. Hope they don't run into trouble and have safe sailing. We'll check the weather tomorrow morning to see if it is any better. Meanwhile, we have done laundry, some shopping, and some boat work. All is not lost.
