Windy 15 - 20 knots with gusts to 35 - 40 yesterday and today so we decided to stay at the dock. North winds blew most of the water from the creek and when we woke up the dock was level with the deck...it must be low tide NOT! We couldn't believe it was high tide and when low tide came the deck was below the dock and we were aground! In the past month we have seen water over the dock and now water four feet under the dock.
We clocked winds at the dock at up to 35 knots, so we were glad to be in a sheltered cove and not "out there." A few quick calls to arrange our schedule and we spent the rest of the day running some errands. We now have a web cam to go with our Verizon broadband card and Skype account. We are ready to communicate with anyone and anyplace from our laptops. If you want to meet us on Skype, go to the Skype web site (www.skype.com) and download the free software. If you want us to see you, get a $30 dollar web cam and look for us by searching on our email address. Otherwise we may just call you from our computer and talk to you through the keyboard microphone. Actually it works very well and even with the initial investment, it's cheap.
Tomorrow we run our last errands, visit with Joe's daughter, Jenny and her family, do our laundry, leave our car at Jenny's home and come back to the boat. If the water rises, we'll leave on Sunday morning, the 18th for the adventure.
The log should get more interesting now as we finally haul for better weather...and it's about time now that the temperature is in the 30s after the sun goes down!

Good luck and good sailing!
I think I'm going to start a blog too as it seems more interesting than e-mailing for general information. Joe & Gretchen.
