And boy did it!! 1.91 inches since this morning. I didn't have the rain catcher set up last night so don't know how much then but it did pour!! lots of wind last night too.
We made a good decision to wait this weather pattern out here in Spooner's Creek. Only one other sailboat came in yesterday -- Jim and Barb on SKAT.. Everyone was too tired to visit last night but if this rain ends soon maybe tonight. It is supposed to be clear and nice tomorrow. Finally we will leave here.
Took advantage of the "lay" day to get some projects done. Fixed the cover on the life sling with a new Sunbrella top and made up a Velcro strap to secure the Soda Stream when we are underway.
Had one not so nice job this morning. Someone -- not saying who to avoid embarrassment was using the aft head when a loud pop was heard. The head on one of the anchor bolts broke off. Well can't let that go or we will have a bigger mess. I found a 2" bolt in the spares but needed 1 1/2". The bolts are not threaded all the way so I could not cut it down so I just added an extra nut and washer and Voila -- fixed. Of course it was the most difficult bolt to reach.
No Sun and not much wind in the rain today so the batteries were losing juice. I had to run the Genset for a couple of hours and the batteries are happy now. Used that time to charge everything and Karen did some ironing -- quilt stuff -- and sewing on her Juki. Its an 8KW genset and doesn't care what we turn on..
Waiting for the rain to stop which should be in the next hour and we can open some ports to let the heat out from the genset -- its not too bad.
Not much planned for the evening. Just view the warnings on the problem stretches of the ICW between here and Mile Hammock Bay and maybe some Farkle with Jim and Barb..
