At around 2 am I could hear the wind whistling in the
rigging. I got up and looked out the
hatch. I had to confirm we were still
anchored in the same spot. We were, so I
went back to bed.
The wind blew all night.
At first light I got up, turned on the wind indicator to determine how
hard it was blowing. It was blowing in
the low 20s. I went back to bed. But of course I couldn’t sleep. Eventually I got up and posted yesterday’s
journal entry.
Today the barometer says 1003 millibars. That means the barometer
went down since yesterday. Makes sense,
but I really would like it to go the other way.
Also I looked at the highest wind gust at anchor. It was 33 knots.
This morning I decided to start my new hydronic furnace. It kept shutting down with a low voltage
code. I eventually started the motor and
it worked fine. It is a long run for the
wires. I’m wondering if I need to run a
bigger gauge wire to the heater to limit voltage drop on the wire. Or possible my battery is low. Guess more troubleshooting is in order. At least it was able to produce hot water to
wash the morning dishes.
We pulled up the anchor around 11 am. Sailed for 3 miles and then motored the rest
of the way to Deer Harbor after the wind died off. Arrived around 2pm. No one at TYC dock. In fact less then 10 boats had been here
since September 2021.
I topped off my tank with the last full jerry can on the deck. I then went and pumped another 13.572 gallons
in the three jerry cans at the gas dock. Diesel here is 6.92 per gallon.
Had an early dinner tonight and then relaxed the rest of the
evening. Tomorrow we will be heading
over to Canada.
