Mayo Cove and Penrose Point

6/9/2021

Yesterday we arrived in Mayo Cove and secured a mooring buoy off of Penrose Point State Park. The buoy is closer to shore than my chart shows, but there was plenty of water under us.

We’d been keeping an eye on a large thunder cell working up from the south and I knew it meant the wind and rain were on their way. We have only used a mooring buoy once in the last 4 years, so I was a little on edge as the storm approached. 

The leading edge arrived like a freight train, dark and ominous, with winds was much stronger than I expected. While we watched, Carr Inlet (where we had come through a few hours before), was quickly worked into a frenzy by large, wind driven waves.

I’m not sure what the park buoy is rated for, but everything held and within a few hours things began to settle down. We still had a steady wind at midnight, but it was comfortable. 

Today we woke to sun and peaceful seas.
