A tale of two Capes

Wind southwest 20 to 25 knots diminishing to southwest 15 late overnight then backing to south 15 to 20 Tuesday evening.

This is the marine forecast today.  If we had a dollar for every time we’ve checked the weather and said the word “weather” over the last three weeks, think we’d be rich.

With all those challenges, er opportunities (glass half full people that we are), it is hard to believe that we are actually only 2 days late in achieving our goal of introducing Come What May to her new home in Bay Roberts.  We didn’t meet the goal established, but hey, it is sure starting to feel like success nevertheless.  Tomorrow is definitely the day.

The window of opportunity in the above forecast means another early morning departure and an eight hour sail.  Living aboard a boat has been a slice, so much more to share about that, but every sail day is consumed with so much energy, writing about it once docked is often ominous, believe it or not.

Reprovisioning yet again…..  So gotta go for now.

Cap’n hasn’t had a proper dark and stormy in any port of call.  He believes he will get one tomorrow at this next one.  It is well deserved 😀

P.S.  Cape Race was a perfectly executed plan of attack – we nailed it!  Cape Spear, on the other hand, surprised us with a very angry sea.    The playful 15 or so dolphins that surfed with us in those waves though made it an experience that we can remember with smiles in front of our hearts in our mouths.
