How do you put together the radar reflector and where do you put it? On which stay and how far up?
So our first storm anchored at bay...
Why does the weather men sound so urgent? We turned on the weather. Then got gusts of 25 knots. I think. Then off went the anchor watch. We were calm cuz the wind was blowing away from the land. Always good to go out to sea It is better than hitting rocks which there are none here. But going to cliffs might not be good. We battened down the hatch. Turn on the radio. All vessels to seek shelter for an hour. We watched boats come in and hail the harbour but the harbour never responded , twice. One boat anchored with us , real close. Silly. The other went into harbour. I assume they went to anchor. The lightning was a good show. We watched out gps on anchor watch. It looked like the anchor reset itself. Wehave plenty of rode out. 10-1 ratio. While sitting in the storm Ben says, " let sail at night soon". No let's not. We don't even have our radar reflector up. Our anchor light is out. And we don't know how to set the gps for radar. We would run into things. I'm not so good yet with which lights you have on during the night. Bow light. Running light. Mast head light! More learning in the book tomorrow for those answers.
Hey news flash Owen covered his poop just now!!!
Bed time again.
The storm is over for now winds at 5-10 out of the west changing to north. I hope our anchor like the change.
God is our guide.
Zzzzz Pam
