Still Waiting




We're still in Astoria waiting for a break in the weather off shore and Monday looks like it will be the day. I was beginning to think I was just wussing out but everyone else agreed that the conditions were not sounding great. Then, last night, some friends came in on their way home from Port Angeles and when they related their trip to us this morning we were happy to have our concerns confirmed. Bill & Bob are both very experienced sailors and they said it was the worst trip down the coast they'd ever had. So we keep waiting for things to settle a bit. We keep running into friends from Portland. We keep chipping away at the projects that needed to get done. And we have gotten hooked on "Catch Phrase"!
Mary had to go home so missed her trip over the bar. She'll have to get her ocean time in Mexico...oh darn. Rod & Deborah are coming up from Seaside this evening to go to dinner with us so it will be nice to see them one more time.
All in all, nothing terribly exciting at the moment but we are definately learning patience!
