"But you must return to your God; maintain love and justice, and wait for your God always." (Hosea 12:6)

Some leftover swell from last night's SSW winds. Gave me some rolling for part of the leg.

Tied Up - Will Stay On Dock Overnight Before Pull Out

Next I put the shower heater away and stowed the 1# bottles of propane for the grill and hot water heater.

1340-Took recyclables up, along with one aux. fuel tank.  Then came back for two more aux tanks. Removed and stowed the auto pilot. Time for a break!


Channel Entrance To High Hill Harbor

1440-Had a glass of wine, walked the docks while I sipped. Took the camera pole to the truck. Retrieved both guys, coiled and hung them to dry. Will fly the drone later so I got the equipment ready. Will fly from the dock.

1620-Sat on the aft deck enjoying a glass of wine and ended up doing a show and tell for Wayne, another boat owner.  Will make dinner of chicken wild rice soup, rolls, and white wine.

Sunset - Nice End To The Day

Listened to music and then read a chapter of Grey Owl.

2110-Sat on the aft deck listening to more music but some folks came and fired up the big diesel next to me and the exhaust fumes drove me out of the cockpit! Had to walk on the dock until they either left or shut down the engine. Turned out they were just running the engine and 10 minutes later they left. Time to hit the sack.  Tomorrow is pull out day.
