Our last day in Souris.
Pretty cool, very windy with waves coming over the breakwater. Spent the day preparing for our first passage
of the season. Filled the water tanks,
stocked up in groceries, plotting tomorrows course and uploading to the
chartplotter. Several jobs that we take for granted during the sailing season
but that’s a little foreign the first time each year.
Back in Vermont, during the spring we bought some new dock
lines and Ron spliced the loops in the ends.
Now we discover that some of the loops were too small! Often, when finishing a splice, the ends are
melted to seal them. This time,
fortuitously, Ron taped them instead. So
we discovered that they could be unspliced and respliced. 1 down, 3 to go …
We finished the day with a meal at the Sheltered Harbour Café,
(where we had intended to go last night), and had a very pleasant dinner with
Tom and Clarissa.
