Weather reports that a Norther is coming in, contrary to local knowledge that we don’t have any more northers this time of year, hah. Jim Mcdonald says get out the storm anchor your’e doomed, and Horton says he has never seen the barometer so loow... No place to be right here in Trujillo but nobody but me seems to be very excited about it. So on Sunday we do move over to the North side of the bay and hook on down in about 10 ft of water by the dry dock, should be okay if the wind doesn’t come out of the west. 0130 the weather hits right out of the West, Great! 3 to 4 ft swells with 20 to 25 knot winds for 18 hrs. We hang in there feeling like a washing machine. Continuely I am on deck checking and replacing the chaffing gear on the windlass, so my line snubber doesn’t part and put the whole shock of the waves on the bowsprit thru the chain.
Finally the weather breaks and we go ashore and spend the day on the oceanside beach until the swells subside and it is livable once again on Palantir. Are we having fun yet?
