Gregory's ServerThe automated weather radio voice drones about the advent of favorable northerly winds that never manifest, so we've resorted to doing short hops, weather permitting, between the safety of one inlet and the next whenever the storm catches its breath, often against tide, oftener against wind. We occupy the disquieting lulls of what feels more like trench warfare than passaging drowned in tea, blankets and the smell of paperbacks.

 @neauoire Hah, know the feeling. We've had a season of this in the Aegean sea. The pilot book kept waffling about "the prevailing southerly" but said southerly never showed up once in four weeks and we had to resort to smashing upwind at 3am for several nights in a row as the waves and headwinds were a little lighter than in the daytime. Tires you out! On the upside, we got to explore unusual anchorages that weren't accessible with the "prevailing" southerly. @yngmar yeah, and you take off at 3am expecting the current to help only to throw yourself into some uncharted counter current.. @neauoire I think Ontario has those sort of things https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/weatheradio/find-your-network.html I absolutely love listening to radio during the day  @ZhangBenKong it does sneak into your mind, I think I've started to develop some speech patterns I've picked up from the robovoice |
