We are still in Marsh Harbour while the wind blows. Yesterday it started blowing in the morning just as forecast and continued all day. The anemometer was showing constant winds in the 20's with gusts into the 30's. Needless to say we spent the day on the boat. By late afternoon we had a quick rain squall pass through. After the rain it felt like it had let up a little but it was just that the gusts had let up, it was still blowing in the 20's. This time no one dragged their anchor. For entertainment we watched a movie and had popcorn. Friends on another boat loaned us a copy of American Sniper.
Today it is not as windy but still gusting into the 20's. This is forecast to last through Wednesday. For a project I am attempting to get the computer and single sideband radio to cooperate and download weather faxes. I am having moderate success.
Our next big project is to get the Yamaha outboard to the shop to diagnose what is wrong. It has started to act up again. It will not make it to shore without cutting out, so far it restarts so we haven't had to row back yet.
As we keep telling each other "at least it isn't snowing."
