They did...


The gray skies did clear up for a couple days. The boating was good, we got some work done around the house, and then Mother Nature gave us more gray skies. On the boat in the middle of the night... well, really early on Tuesday, the next norther blew in. By the time I got up, the temp was down to about 50º... about 15º cooler than the night before.

Back in the house, it was warm, comfortable, and quiet... you couldn't hear the wind howling as much as on the boat.

On the weather today, the weather weasel said, "It's going to be an unpleasant day on the water today - windy, cold, and cloudy. Moderate chop on the bay." I guess he's never been on a C-Dory. It was plenty comfortable out there today... well, I was wearing long pants and a sweater... 56º outside, but 72º in the cabin with the heat running.


I used my Droid phone on GPS mode today, to check it out against the two chartplotters in the boat. Without marine charts, it only shows that you are on the water, but it runs accurately with the other two. You can see that the screen on the Droid is about the same size as the screen on the small portable chartplotter.
