DAY 9, Tuesday,
Well, today was a bust. We went for groceries as planed and got
everything ready. Even remembered ice
for the cooler. We headed out at aroud 11:30 behind a few other sailboats, all
of whom were heading east. We of course were heading west into the wind. We tacked
back and forth for about three hours and were nowhere near being able to make a
harbour, so we turned around and came back to Gore Bay. It took about 45
minutes to get back. Seems to me the same thing happened around here about 10 years
ago!
As soon as we got back to the anchorage, an enormous storm
rolled past the bay mouth. Sure glad we
came back! So tomorrow we will leave at 7 am. The weather forecast is for light
winds and reasonable waves so we should be able to make Meldrum Bay by night fall.
Sometimes I feel like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz except I
WANT to get to the magic land! I‘ve made
a pot of chicken soup in anticipation of the long day. Not sure Todd is looking
forward to it!
