This morning I think we set a new record for a low today, 48 degrees and it's still blowing from the NE at around 20 kts! Yesterday and actually all week (since our 50kt storm on Monday) it has been pretty much the same. Nobody is moving and there are a lot of boats in here looking for a slot to bust out to all sorts of destinations. Two nights ago while having dinner on Kismet we saw the Harbormaster kick two boats out of the navigation channel right at sunset. One found a little spot behind Kismet but the other one wandered around for 15 or so minutes and ended up snagging another, already anchored boat and sadly the two boats had a kissing contest, in 20+ knots of wind, in 50 degree temperature and of course in the dark with many other boats very close. We all felt bad for them and were glad we were 50 yards away from the turmoil.
Chris U. came on board for dinner last night and of course resupplied us with our warm weather cocktail, "Blue"! He still hasn't launched Three Cheers because of the high winds and cold temperatures.....maybe tomorrow.
To our little Teagan..........butterflies don't fly in cold, windy weather.....please send us warm weather wishes!!!!!
