After a stormy nite in Gore Bay we're at anchor again

We ended up staying two nights in Gore Bay due to some nasty weather that rolled through there last night. The local airport reported winds of 35MPH with gusts to 50. Needless to say we were happy to be safely tied to a dock during the event. After a quick pump out we were off again this morning for some nights at anchorage before heading into Little Current for the big Haweaters Weekend celebration. For these folks it's pretty much the end of the season and for us we only have a few weeks left as well. For the next few nights we are in one of our favorite spots at Hotham Island South where the friendly cottagers live. We are also once again joined by our friends George and Lorraine who unfortunately have some mechanical problems and will have to return to Gore Bay for a quick (hopefully) repair so we can rejoin them tomorrow night. After dinner Sheri and I went on a dinghy ride and stumbled upon a solo loon who seem to be all too willing to have his picture taken up close. Armed with only my G9 I got some of my best loon shots of the year as well a pretty sunset and moonrise. Enjoy.
