Subject: Sleepless in Stuart.
Well the
winds died down about 11pm – Great! But
started up at 3am!!!!!!!! It seemed that
I just fell asleep when Steve woke up and e wanted to check the mooring lines
again. Steve has a rule that if one of
us goes on deck at night, outside the cockpit, the other has to be on deck
also. So I put my jacket on and
dutifully held the flash light for him. The
boat was spinning so much while I was down below – it was much worse on
deck! The wind was whipping - coming out
of the blackness from all sides, the boat bouncing up and down, then add to the
mix - a gust of wind caught a wave so the spray hits in the exact place I’m
standing! It was a scary. I never thought we would need the jack lines
in a mooring field! The lines were
fine. Found out this morning the winds
were gusting to 45mph.
Am I having
fun yet?????
Sea u
later.
