All during the night last night, the wind howled past the rear of the boat. I got up once to check the anchors to see if they were pulling out. But our anchor team and the size of the anchors did the job. This morning dawned calm, cool and bright with the boat still securely attached to the shore. We had a hearty breakfast and are now preparing to up anchor and head downlake.
The de-anchoring went without a hitch, and we headed back toward our home bay with speedboat in tow. Everyone settled down to the routine of cruising. Some read, some played cards, and some napped. It is a very scenic slow cruise moving The Ship around on the lake. We got back into Waweep Bay, and went up creek past the marina to a great anchorage we had found. Captain Jimmie beached us smartly and retook the refrigerator punting record. We got anchored, and were fortunate to find a significant amount of driftwood to collect for a fire. That along with the supply of wood we had brought allowed us to have a nice fire that evening. The previous very windy nights had pretty much precluded beach fires. We had a dinner of leftovers from the week, and had a little beach party till it was time to go to bed.
More later,
Wes
