Monday - rain, wind, rain and more rain and more wind

Sunday did not let up on the wind or rain. I cooked soup/stew and added cottage cheese and mandarin oranges for dinner, taking it up to the house. Dottie, Hass and Morse (cat) joined staying in the house enjoyed having a hot meal for dinner. We laughed at the slim pickings on TV, watched the news and weather  then loaded up our stuff for the trek back to the boat. We have a few leaks from being water logged, everything feels damp in the boat, condensation collects on the large hatch in the V berth and our entrance hatch so we have wet spots scattered about. 

The temperature has started to drop and Monday morning we woke to a beeping sound, our anchor alarm. When we arrived in this slip the dept was 10.2' now it was 6' - we are OK but it was quite a shock. The water was relatively calm out in the sound. Now we wait for for surge to come in. The good news - Sandy is north of us now, wind has changed direction to WNW, however it looks like we still have tomorrow to contend with the aftermath of Sandy, more rain and wind.

Our little home we could run to 

you can see how much the water level dropped.
