Clanging halyards...

That's the sound of wind in the marina.  The forecast was for wind around 9 - 10 mph.  The actual: currently 14 gusting to 22.  It's going to be a "sporting" day out on the boat today.

It's interesting what one gets accustomed to... back in Texas, 14G22 is a typical day.  You can always find some protected water to play around in.  Here, there are so many open channels and straits, combined with currents from the tides, that the water can get lumpy in a hurry.  The NWS is calling for Small Craft Advisories this afternoon and this evening.

I head off to work in a few minutes... hope the whales are not out in open water. ;-)
