Things That Go Bump In The Night

Wind. It's a love/hate relationship she & I are having. As predicted, we did not get much sleep. The wind was howling, the boat was rocking, sometimes spinning. Thankfully, the spinning thing isn't noticeable unless you are looking outside. When the boat is moving like that she makes all kinds of noises...just like an old house. Only this house can sink so loud creaky noises must be investigated. After the near miss with the steel mill a couple of weeks ago (the last time high winds caused our anchor to drag), Scott & I were up all night. Our anchor held steady, but we were so tired! We only went a short way today. I'm not even sure how far & I don't care. We are anchored again in some river with 30mph winds knocking us around. Scott is napping in anticipation of another long night. We have both our anchors out now. If the forecast is correct, things should get better by 10pm. We've been awake since 2:30am so that still seems like forever. Sometimes living the dream wears you out.
