Rain Delays and Kid Testing
The plans to practice docking were cancelled at 7am this morning based on the depressing but familiar January forecast of fog compounded with steady rain.
By late morning things weren’t looking so bad, though. So Carrie, Tess, and Quinn came down to the boat with me for an hour just to check things out.
Quinn is ready to go “camping on the boat” and has her bed all picked out. “Her bed” is alternatively the double berth cabin or the single berth navigator bunk at aft. The made herself quite comfortable in both.
I spent time looking through the different cabinets and lockers, getting familiar with the gear on board, and how to keep everything organized. I also looked through the manuals stored in the chart table that are references for electronic and mechanical gear on board. I left them all onboard, but separated into two stacks so I’ll know which ones I want to study when I have more time aboard.
