Wednesday August 31, 2022, Whitby
We stayed another day in Whitby, just to sit out a forecasted thunderstorm. It never happened but it was a pleasant day.
Pierre and I invaded the clubhouse to play backgammon and met some interesting members, who looked at us curiously as if we were bringing new vices to the comfortable room. Besides the members, the Shark sailors came in, went out into the stormy waters and came back but by then Pierre and I had returned to the boat.
The previous owner, Al, was around and I asked him what the process for stowing the dinghy on the davits. He walked me through it and it was exactly what Jeff had figured out back in August and that Pierre and I had worked on. Sadly, because I was hoping there was an easier way. I guess the easier way is to do it a dozen times until it seems easy.
The weather forecast was for high winds, off the beam, all day, which would be perfect for motorsailing from Whitby to Port Dalhousie.
