Hi Rich,
Thanks for the Christmas wishes. I did not receive the message
until we got back from our wee cruise.
We left for the Gulf Islands a bit before Christmas Day but didn't
make it out of the harbour. Too wet, too late and a gale warning
posted. We spent Dec 24 & 25th on a mooring in the lee of the aptly
named, Protection Island. Lots of rain and the wind outside the
harbour at 30 knots, gusts to 38. Sixty miles to the south, we heard
on the VHF weather report, wind 38 gusting to 48.
Boxing day we strolled under the abundance of christmas trees that
are all over the island. I didn't find any boaty :)
It probably would have got moldy anyway. You might not believe how
damp a west coast boat can get in a winter storm with two people
aboard... unless you summer in a place like Louisiana??.
We had a few minutes of sun today. It was nice.
Cheers, Russ

Merry Christmas to all. I hope you found something boaty under the
tree. The part of Halifax I can see from my 8th floor window has a
whole .03" of white frost down and the sun is out. I'm going to see
if my newly installed cover is OK. Did the last bit in the dark.
Have a great day, all.
