Gail Force

The winds start to pick up around 6am however they are only gusting and calm in between. By lunch time it's blown a Beaufort 5 in the Bay but we are safe and well tied up on the wharf.  No trip to Marmaris today. 

We use our time well and do a job I've been putting off for weeks. We lift all the floor board panels, de mould and clean them, fit them with felt bottoms to reduce noise and polish them. A big job and I'm sooo happy to have that  done.  Now we are relaxing over a vodka and beer.

By 3.30pm it's blowing Beauforts 7s and 8s in the harbour and one last Sunsail yacht comes in to raft up with its flotilla.

    Hi Hal

    Glad you are enjoying our windy time and in a way glad you or any other guest is not with us on this leg as too uncomfortable.

    Windy, force 5 is still a breeze not even a Gale. June (Mum 2)has looked at your blog a few times she really likes it. Cheers Hal

    Hello G&G, Have just looked up Sir Francis Beaufort, now know more about your Beaufort scale. Interesting. Glad you are safe in harbour attending to 'housework', no good for fishing! Your adventures, at sea and on land are great reading. Would love to join you for lunch sometime (if only.) Heaps of love, keep safe. A&M
