Day Five

This morning I painted for a while and Daniel got a lift to a grocery store from a fellow sailor. We took on ice and water and considered how we were going to get both boats safely out of the slip with a strong wind pinning the boats to the dock. Finally, we devised a plan that Daniel would assist me with Ca Ira's lines and I would motor her away from the dock. Then Daniel would row Morgaine out to meet me. It was a success! We motored out to Mill Creek with Morgaine in tow and had just set the hook when a thunderstorm hit! After it cleared, we decided to press on, undaunted, with Morgaine. We rowed her up Mill Creek wher we saw laborers fell a tree damaged in Sunday night's thunderstorm. We continued to the rapids at the headwaters of Mill Creek and we got soaked by the next rain sqall:)
