A lay day

N 53 42.694, W 129 43.560
Klewnuggit Inlet, Grenville Channel

This morning we woke up at 6:00 am and decided that this anchorage is too nice to leave and that we should stay another night. And then we went back to sleep for a bit more!

After a leisurely breakfast and some time to read our books, we did some chores. Rich added some cleats to secure part of the cabinetry in the aft stateroom where we plug in our phone charger. Before we left, Rich got a new Nikon, digital SLR camera. Today he is able to spend some time with it. I have been removing the screens from the portlights, replacing the old screen material with new mosquito netting. I finished the last five today. This allows us to open the portlights for air and not having to deal with the bugs. At this anchorage and others there are some nasty green-headed flies which give a very sharp bite, even through socks and jeans, which itch like crazy. Paradise does come with a price.

We have had the anchorage to ourselves for most of the day as the other boats left early this morning. A powerboat came in after lunch. The winds were calm this morning but this afternoon they built to 10-12 knots in the anchorage. I can imagine that they are much stronger in the channel. The new plan is to leave early in the morning before they build.

No worries,
SV Windarra
