Rock and Roll at Pete's

This view is from our new slip in Pete's down towards the restaurant. The palm trees really give the illusion of tropics but right now we are rocking with high winds. It gets frost here in the winter. I came back from church one morning, several years ago, wearing my clerical collar and slipped on the frost on the dock. Skirt flew over my head and some salty language flew around to the amusement of the locals.
We read that the Baha fleet has had a recommendation of stopping before Turtle Bay to avoid extreme winds and waves down there. Ouch.

From the elegance of the plastic fantastics to the "character " of Pete's Harbor is quite a change. The winds are 40 - 60 mph and there are white caps and rollers in this little channel, in which we tried to maneuver our 45' plus sloop. Ai yi yi....I think our neighbors were checking their insurance policies. The photo shows our dinghy davit/solar panels support and the tv antenna. Are we cruisers or what? We can't move to an outside slip until the poor fellow who is in our future slip gets towed.Boating! After today, we are not sure we want to be out there as we can sit in the sun protected by our dodger and marvel at the wildness in the channel. This should be an interesting couple of months - we are snug and the dogs can learn about the poop deck, finally.
