We had two days of winds blowing in the 20’s, gusting into the 30’s. It was a solid anchorage and we weren’t worried about the boat, but days like these are extremely wet and uncomfortable for the dinghy. I picked up expensive cheese and iberico ham, pork rillettes, and a lot of red wine to get us through the weekend.
And there’s always projects. One of the things we noticed was the amount of moisture that came through the hull during the big passages. Book pages have developed mildew stains, and a few electronics like the portable USB power bank were rusted out completely. We took everything out of the cabinets so Trip could check the chainplates for any structural weakness. All looked good, so we cleaned everything up, threw a bunch of old or damaged things away, rebedded the chainplate covers, and packed up again. One less thing to do at the end of the season….
