Leland in the wind

The wind just never stops! At one point we checked the wind measurement device on the boat. It touched 41.1 knots. Rain was intermittent and the waves just keep pounding the breakwall. We are pleased to be tied up but the time passes slowly. The cold wind makes outside walks uncomfortable. This is more like November weather! The couple we met earlier have tied up their boat and gone back to New Jersey to look after business. They will return soon. The weather is supposed to improve tomorrow. I get a better understanding of people who say "nice place, I spent a week there one day.

Some guy almost became a stastistic when he came in, in a twenty-five foot boat being tossed around like a leaf. His kid was on the deck with no life jacket. He was on the swim platform steering a trolling motor after his out drive packed it in.

Anyway...lets see what tomorrow brings!
