Are we back in Alaska? It rained quite hard last night. And the wind was up a little bit in the bay. Not too much, just a steady 5 or 6 knots, but then it would gust up to 10 to 12 knots. Bella got us up and so Greg got up around 6:30 and thought we were a little too close to the rocks. So we loosened our stern tie and brought the anchor line it a bit to pull us away. We had tons of water underneath the stern, we were just really close to the rock wall behind, or to the side, of us.

Back to bed, but not really back to sleep. As it was still grey and pouring rain, it was a lazy morning and we had the furnace going to try and dry it out a bit. Spent the whole day on the boat and didn't even get off once. The wind died to basically nothing sometime before noon. Greg made a nice breakfast for lunch. At some point in the afternoon it stopped raining, so we moved the boat forward a bit and re-anchored and re-did the stern tie so we were further from the wall. Felt better. We invited Byron and Sue over for early beer and appetizers and then we had a nice salmon dinner. Not the kind of day we were looking for in Desolation Sound at all. The water was pretty warm, around 65F, but certainly not a sunning / swimming kind of day.
