Frozen
This morning the river was frozen over and the
light current was pushing against the green bouy marking the entrance to
the marina. It would push it for a while then the ice would break and it
would move back to it's original position. The pier was vibrating slightly
for the same reason. The current is moving very slowly. It's dry and cold
but the sun is warm and it's beautiful outside. There was frost on the
docks and the deck. We are on our 9th day on our water supply and will
likely fill up tomorrow. The temprature last night was somewhere below 27
degrees. It was 27 at 8am. but the water temp below the surface is still
49 degrees. Life is peaceful and quiet and everyone is fine. It is so
quiet here and at night you can see the stars the way I remember when I was
a child or when we were in Mexico or Sailing 20+ years ago. There is no
light polution and since we are on the edge of the USA 1/2 the sky is over
the atlantic ocean. The stars are amazing.
We contacted a boat yard to work on some issues like rigging and through
hulls this spring. The owner of the yard is going to come visit us and see
the old girl before we schedule work. It's an exclusive yard that I will
mention after when we are closer to actually having the work done.
