Tenant Harbor - Mooring Ball

Friday August 21, 2015

Another foggy morning. Plan A was to head 44 NM to Booth Bay. Plan B was to head about 1/2 way and bail out in Tenant Harbor - at least that would be progress. We dropped the tether at about 1 PM and headed out. Cavara had still not made it to the fuel dock so they were to follow later.

The fog was mostly "on" and sometimes "off" as we headed south west. Fortunately I had connected with an audio stream of the 5th Test in England, so could listen to the cricket as we stared out of the windscreen into the grey, spotting and avoiding lobster floats.  We saw nothing else but grey water and grey cloud and grey fog for just over 3 hours. Maybe a few red blobs on the radar that we avoided.

We arrived at Tenant Harbor about 4 PM and spent the best part of an hour searching for our reserved ball. Eventually made ourselves secure and launched the dinghy so we could go ashore and pay the dimwit who did not know where "her balls" were actually located. Then walked into "town" looking for the local spot for a meal.

Tomorrow we will head for Booth Bay, rain or shine. We need to make some progress or we will both start rusting. The "humidity" is 90% - 95% all the time. Everything is wet.
