It poured almost none stop today & there was quite a bit of wind, so the outstation is full to the point of rafting boats. Everyone is trying to come in for shelter & the dock. Poor Aya & Drew are flying in this - they're really going to be wondering why they came & why we do this ):
We put the kayaks up, filled the boat with water & Rod did several maintenance things as it was not conducive to being outside! I finished cleaning the boat, getting our guest's stateroom ready for them & getting things marinated for dinner tonight. Mr. Cat's things moved back to our room yesterday & he's still readjusting.
Aya & Drew landed about 4:45 - good flight, apparently it was sunny in Seattle when they left. Still was cloudy & muggy here as the rain had just stopped a little before they arrived. We had a great evening visiting. Ate some of Jon's smoked salmon for appetizers & then had a great bottle of red wine (which they brought) with dinner. Rod scored cigars from Dale for he & Drew to smoke. I told them to go to Dale's boat (: They didn't get used as it was too late after dinner...but maybe in the morning before we go???? Otherwise it will be the Lido deck for the boys!
A lot of boats came in yesterday due to weather, boats got readjusted to make room & in the end everyone got in except one large boat that had to anchor out. There are maybe 2 feet between boats now. Will be interesting to see how everyone gets out tomorrow. Some boaters are planning to leave quite early in the am as they have long trips & straits ahead of them.
