Trip 1, Day 13, Leg 13

Trip Day - Sunday, August 8th (Birthday)

0608-64F/61. Cloudy and cool again. Solar 46%.

0831-70F/65F. Still cloudy and cool. Finished reading, study, prayer. Had breakfast of granola with toast and peanut butter. Getting ready to move out.

1010-Tied up at another unmarked beach. Rocky bottom with sand mix. Still cloudy but warm. 68F/67F. Leg 13 today was 7.5 nm with an average of 7.1 kts.

1105-Did a walk of the site and will follow up with a video later. Returned to the boat to wash dishes for the day. I usually do this just after I arrive at the new site. Once a day I find adequate. I will trim my beard as I am getting to look a bit rough after two weeks!

1127-Beard nicely trimmed, so I look civilized again! 72F/74F. May have some lunch. Fishing boats race back and forth no matter where I go. Where they are actually going, or what they are doing, is a mystery. I have yet to see anyone catch an actual fish in two weeks!

Three or four boats went west. Later they all came back? One flying a big blue flag, which I couldn't read. There is a resort not far from here (I.W. Stevens Pine Cove), perhaps that is where they are going? The island I am currently on is named after that family, I assume.

1205-74F/75F. Blue sky occasionally now. Warmed up. Had a boat lunch. May go out and do a video now, or perhaps wait a little for the sun to get lower in the west? Solar 47% (43w)

1325-76F/80F. Getting quite warm. Broken clouds. Solar is 50% (47w). Sat on the aft deck and answered birthday messages since I had cell coverage. But they all bounced! Not sure why? (later I figured it out) May nap for a bit.

1424-52% solar. 77F/79F. I did have a nice nap. Two fishing boats just parked themselves right out from my boat...why here exactly?! They caught nothing.

1845-Made BD dinner of grilled chicken, baked beans, salad, hot ciabatta roll, with white wine. Too hot to sit on aft deck, even now. 81F/80F. Back to hot temps again!

Went up in the trees and sat in the shade for a while and listened to music and sipped some red wine. Need to cool off some before I can sleep. Would have been nice to have that cool weather of the past couple days to load the boat on Tuesday. I will move to the aft deck once the sun goes behind the trees. Solar is 58%.
