Saturday in Northport

Well, let me see what we did today. We woke up tired. The wind blew so hard through the night I'm sure all the livestock here has blown out to sea. This is a protected port and a great little village but it is too windy here! All night long the boat is being tilted up on its side like we are sailing but no sails are up! It is just the wind blowing against the mast. We have the boat tied up on all four corners away from the docks to stop the fenders from wearing out. We think that things are starting to quiet down a bit like at home. Just then a mean low dark black cloud comes over, it rains like a hurricane and the wind picks up. I don't like to complain but even the fish are tired of the rain. For something to do we walked uptown (600 feet) to catch a bus to a neighbouring bay for a look around. The bus doesn't run today. We do some shopping and come back to the boat. We read some more, played some board games with our good neighbors and tucked in with the wind blowing and the rain coming down. I think we will go to church tomorrow. Maybe the rain will quit.
