Well I had a rather interesting day, got up early to take advantage of the forecast west wind and found 15-20 knots from the NNW. So ended up circumnavigating  the tomb and heading north in the small craft channel, motored all day an ended up at Big Sound Marina. It was not quite the day that I expected or the destination :(  well tomorrow is another day ... lets see what the weather brings.. I may just hang on the beach at Killcoursy till I get a weather window to cross to Windfield Basin.... Dinner time :)

Tonight wine and chicken lol

Well first stop as always Methodist bay for the night.   Will see what winds offer in the morning. Storm has passed and the cold front and it's high are moving in, this may be a bumpy night.

 Anchour is in and well hooked in 10' of water. Winds are S 5-10 knots with a slight roll. It may be a comfortable night after all  :)  Environment Canada ended the squall watch just now  cool
Time for a glass of wine and a burger
73's

Well its that time of the year again. Provisioning has started for the trip up north. Watching the weather and winds for this weekend to determine which direction to head off on first. looking forward to Sunday, it may be across the bay to Lions head...forecast is for NE winds. Lions Head is one of my new fav spots on the bay. It has a good harbour and some really interesting things to do. Including a shipwreck in the same bay as the harbour and watching the Turkey Vultures soar along the escarpment.... and there is always watching the humans climb the rock face  :)...........Let you know what happens at the next wifi connection

Well its that time of the year. Time to put the boat on the hard and prep it for winter. So far have the water system engine winterized.

Still pending

winterize the head and the shower pump
dry out the bilge
Remove the canvas and do the repairs
pack up all the food and remove it
Put the supports up for the tarps and put the tarps on

that has got to be more than one weekends work :(

That is the price of  owning a boat

I have also applied to the Midland bay sailing to save some money.
They have wed racing as well that would be a hoot :)

Looking forward to boarding season now

Can someone please tell me where all the nice weather that environment canada promised for the fall went?
Oh don't tell me it was only during the week ..the weekends have been way to wet to sail. If you haven't  check the weather for the long weekend its going to be F...ing cold good for pre haul out maintenance :)....I hate this time of the year.... did we not just launch???????    :(..... the seasons between sailing and snow boarding spring and fall   :(  ok I'm finished, off to do Saturday chores.... car wash ....return a backup drive again   take my board and boots in to get the bindings fixed and laundry ..have a good weekend...cross your fingers for some nice sun tomorrow and a little wind
