On the longest darkest night of the year, and with the prospect of inclement
weather, now would be a good time to bring back the feast of Yule!
Time to spark up those Yule logs!
For those of us that can.
I know that if I had a fire place I would.
Anyway, happy Yule, fellow Listers!

So much for a White Christmas! This just out:
3:42 PM AST Sunday 21 December 2014
Special weather statement in effect for:
Sydney Metro and Cape Breton County
Rain and wind expected for Christmas.
An intense weather system will track toward the Maritimes later this week.
Rain will develop through the day Wednesday and become heavy at times on
Christmas Day. Strong southerly winds and warm temperatures will also accompany
this system. Current indications suggest that rainfall amounts and wind
strength could approach or exceed warning criteria.
Additionally....Tides will be running high this week so coastal water
levels and waves could be a concern.
Environment Canada will continue to monitor the development of this system
providing updates as new information becomes available. Those planning travel
or other weather-sensitive activities for later in the week are advised to
monitor future forecasts for more further information.
Please monitor the latest forecasts and warnings from Environment Canada at
www.weatheroffice.gc.ca.
The days start getting longer now, leading back to summer. I like that.
Happy Solstice everyone!

Should have hailed! It could have been my son, Chris, Jr. He's been making
the run to Pensacola and Mobile lately. He grew up sailing on my 35, but
prefers his Laser 28 now.

High 50's today, near 70 tomorrow. Some clouds.
Brought Touche' back from Pensacola last week. A bit chilly for me. High
40's at sun up, mid to high 60's during the day. Worst day was Wednesday.
Left The Wharf Marina on the ICW at Orange Beach, Alabama an hour before
sunrise in 48F weather. Sun came up as we motored across Bon Secour Bay off
east Mobile Bay. Had enough wind to roll out genoa to gain half knot or so.
It was a 12 hour passage to Gulfport. Mississippi
Got into Mandeville Thursday a bit before sundown. Started raining on us
as we were leaving the marina in my truck. Timing is everything.
One funny thing happened on the trip. On Wednesday, we passed a tow in the
Pas au Herons Channel behind Dauphin Island, Alabama, The "Margaret" was
pushing 4 loads wide and 2 "strung out" for a total of 8 barges. Margaret was
only managing 2.7 knots according to AIS. On Thursday, after spending the
night in Gulfport, we again passed the "Margaret" at the east end of Lake
Borgne. I was soooo tempted to hail them with "It's me again, Margaret"
(remember the Ray Stevens song?).

Hey Dennis,
What's the weather report for New Orleans? or maybe I don't want to know?
Cheers, Russ

Ditto Russ' procedure. Hose with nozzle. Several hard blasts couple
times a year. If necessary, wrap a rag around the nozzle to direct all the
pressure into the scupper.
At haul out, clean the thruhulls and paint the inside with a good
antifouling paint to prevent marine growth from clogging the exit.
