Opua: rowed, not sailed
Opua: rowed, not sailed
There was no wind yesterday and I didn’t feel like powering for a couple of hours to an anchorage, so I took a row around the neighborhood.
Instead of going west, as I usually do, I went east around Pine tree island.
There are a couple of unexpected boats on moorings in the inlet just south of Pine Tree.
Thus far no one I’ve asked knows anything about the boat.
There is also an odd narrow little boat over there that looks to be a hundred years old, but probably isn’t.
I didn’t get a useful photograph, and will row back if I can.
Our weather is becoming more normal, which is to say unsettled.
When I woke yesterday morning, the temperature was 48ºF/9ºC, which is only a few degrees from the lowest temperatures to be expected here all year.
Today sees high pressure, but thick clouds. And showers are possible for the next several days.
