Updates

 Here's a couple of good news items. I have been under assault on this trip by all sorts of annoying, nasty, and biting insects. Some of them are small enough to fit thru the mesh screen. I am very happy to report, that thanks to Nicole, they are GONE! No idea where they are, but they can't move in this wind.

And in the never ending battle between the tide and the wind , the wind has won. This means that as long as the wind stays above about 30, it counteracts the strength of the tide, making the boat point more consistently into the wind and making for a more comfortable boat.

Also, they canceled the hurricane watch for this county. We still have the tropical storm warning, but hey, I'll take what I can get.

And no problems with any of the boats on moorings, most of which are bigger than me. Did have one big anchored sailboat go up on the rocks by the paper mill, and another one is clearly aground in the harbor.

Best, Charlie
