19 and 20 July, 2015 I love a rainy night

      It turned out that we liked Baie Du Vin so much we spent three nights there. The first was pretty quiet, the second the wind was just in the right (or wrong) direction to have a clear 4 mile fetch and stir things up a mite. We did a fair amount of bouncing around, Tommy didn't sleep to well, she apparently couldn't get comfortable as she tried many positions, on Kathy's legs, on my back, between Kathy's legs, on Kathy's pillow, just couldn't find the right spot, or maybe she found many.

      For the third nite we moved a few miles south to hide behind another point, this also gave us a little head start out of the bay the next morning. When you cruise at 6 knots, two miles is a big thing, like 20 minutes!

      During the rainy days we did a few boat projects, I hung a few more LED lights in place of some 110 volt fixtures and changed our diesel fuel filter. Kathy made bread and scrumptious chocolate brownies! (I'm so spoiled and loving it) and she started a new pair of wool socks for me, (spoiled again). Every once in a while you need one of these stops, no distractions, just us and the boat.

      Addendum from Kathy:  Sitting at anchor for two full days and three nights on a thirty-foot boat makes for interesting conversations and creative ways to pass the time.  As Dan mentioned, he found projects to do and I cooked, knitted, and cleaned/organized a few spaces.  We hauled out the games - cribbage, Scrabble, crosswords, etc - every night after supper (there was some major husband-beating) and we sent out the occasional texts to let people know we were still alive.  I asked my sister for a Hollandaise recipe and whipped up some Eggs Benedict for our last meal in Baie du Vin.  Gotta love modern technology...
