Is It May or November ?

The boat has been in her slip for just about a month, and what a crazy month it has been.....as least weather wise.

The winds have been constant this month, and at times gusts reached over 65MPH.....crazy, just crazy. Mother's Day had sustained winds of 50MPH!!
We haven't accomplished much this month as it has been almost impossible to even get steady footing, let alone any work done. The boat and the docks have done nothing but shake, rattle and roll. It almost feels like November instead of May. Nightime temps have been in the low 40's and daytime temps rarely broke 70, but the winds have not died down. If anything was accomplished, it was the fact that we know our lines and cleats will hold this boat securely to the dock. They have really been put to the test this past month. At one point we thought they'd fail, but we were wrong. We did learn that there is no such thing as too many lines, or lines that are too thick or heavy. We needed all the help we could get from them, and they pulled through.

The marina's location just seems to be prime for north, northwest winds that come barreling down the bay and whip around the point and hit us broadside. The problem this past month was that the winds were coming from all directions, and were changing hourly instead of daily. Whitecaps were showing their nasty little heads whether the wind was coming from the north, south east or west, or any combo of direction.

Hopefully June will be a quieter month, and the winds will lie down for the summer, and the temps will rise to normal.
