| Port McNeill Harbor at Twilight |
Port McNeill is our home for the next several days. It has a population of only 2,700 yet it has a big modern Chamber of Commerce Visitors Center where I counted at least 4 employees. This seaside village is geared for summer cruisers looking for salmon fishing grounds. Later in the summer the marina installs a big party barge with a tent in the harbor - hopefully we'll be gone by then.
We spend the first few days here fixing the "fixed" yet still non-functioning watermaker - grrrrrrr. Jim finally had to rewire the whole thing. This is the third time it's been repaired but we're really, really sure it's working now. We won't find out for certain until we're at sea and that won't be for days since we have been sidelined by gale force winds In Queen Charlotte Sound.

Every day for the last 4 days that we have checked the weather forecast, 4 times a day when the weather is reported, this is what it says: Gale Warnings. So we are waiting to leave, which is not without it's advantages as Port McNeil has the best cinnamon rolls in BC. I've taken on the task of critiquing them each morning to ensure their quality control standards remain high. Of course, if we don't get out of here soon, Jim will be able to use me as an anchor.

So we wait for the storm to pass, listening to the loons in the harbor and just wishing and hoping and
thinking and praying,
planning and dreaming
each night.... of calm seas.
