July 5, 2008 Ocean Falls (2nd storm day)
Harbor-bound again. Despite the nasty forecast, many boaters left Ocean Falls today. Around noon a howling gale came from nowhere, drumming rain pouring sideways from the sky. The bay became more white-cap than water, and the white-caps became a “storm white” color as we call it where I’m from. My hat blew off my head as I rescued the Modulus from capsizing, and hauled her onto the dock. I hope everyone’s doing OK out there. Colleen and I are in no hurry to be anywhere anytime soon. Today we’re relaxing, reading, and writing. Just sitting back and enjoying the storm. A safe harbor in a storm is a wonderful thing!
