Watching the weather
With 35 miles to go from Cobourg to Whitby, wind on the nose, and thunderstorms forecast for the afternoon, we raised a double reefed mainsail, and motorsailed the whole way. The first bit was a little choppy as we hobby-horsed through the waves. We arrived in Whitby in the early afternoon, and made a trip to the nearby shopping centre for supplies. Our next stop will be a little isolated, so we needed to have some meals available onboard.
The forecast rain did arrive just before dinner time, and we watched storm clouds to the east and south of us. Then, just before sunset, a huge full moon rose over the lake. Our first view was between the masts at the marina, and we walked over to the clubhouse, as the moon played hide and seek behind clouds.
