Weather or Not

So, a big windstorm that will affect everything from Oregon North. Our time in Friday Harbor was up and I was having a tough time with finding a safe place to sit out gusts to 34 knots. You see, Sarah is the adventurous one. She is always ready to go, go further and stay longer. As captain I’m the one who worries. I couldn’t delay it any longer. I sat with her and started a discussion about wind and tides and unknown anchorages.
In the moment of realization Sarah asked “Are you asking me if I’’d be ok staying safe in Friday Harbor till the storm passed?”
“Well, yes..” was all I could answer.
To her credit she had to tease me. “Hmm, let me think. Great showers, restaurants, shopping….or go out someplace we have never been to drop the hook and see what happens?”
Her grin told me all I needed to know.
I couldn’t ask for a better crew.
So we are staying safe at the dock till the storm passes. It looks like Saturday will be nice for the transit and off we will go.
A good friend sent me a note today. It sums it all up perfectly.
