November 2, 3

We were happy to find friends coming in to escape the winds. Among them was Bill and Mary from Mulligan pictured here. They are 80 year olds who have a beautiful boat and are enjoying every minute of it. We had cocktails aboard and lots of laughs. There is little to do here as we are near no communities. The nearest village is Columbia about twelve miles west. There is also little cell phone coverage which explains a little about why the blog is behind schedule. We were able to get some calls through to reassure folks that we were fine and safely in a marina while the big storm heads up the coast east of us.
The winds certainly did blow. Even though our boat hulls were generally below the level of the ground and there were trees breaking the force of the wind where we were, the boat was still pushed around and rocked both days and at night. The last day we could have left in the afternoon, but decided to remain and strike out the next morning.
