We decided to stay put today. The wind was frisky this morning. Gusting to 25 or more. It's hard to say since I didn't turn on our instruments today. It's after 6:00pm and the wind is only now starting to abate. Tomorrow it'll be blowing a little lighter than it did today, but still enough to allow us to sail with the engine off. Or so the forecast says.
So we've had the day off today, but we'll be back at it tomorrow. On Friday the wind will shift and start blowing from the south. That'll be another good day to take a break. Then Saturday we'll go around the Brooks Peninsula. It's the large thumb sticking out of the west side of Vancouver Island. Life gets a little easier south of the Brooks. The peninsula provides cover from weather blowing in from the northwest.
Environment Canada provides weather forecasts that include west side of Vancouver Island, northern half and southern half, delineated by the Brooks Peninsula in.

In Doug is making dinner tonight. Jambalaya. It sounds from noises coming out of the kitchen like dinner is close to being ready. Thank goodness. I'm hungry.
