Weather Change

The sun disappears behind the building cloud bank. First evening in the week without the unfiltered bright plunge to the horizon. The wind in fact changed today blowing 30 knots from the south out on the strait of Georgia. A couple arriving earlier today to Montague in a 42 foot Grand Bank and later found in the afternoon on the deck of the marina's cafe reported the blowy conditions from leaving the refuge of Deep Bay. They were forced to this rather sleepy hollow a day earlier in lieu of the picturesque anchorage of Tribune Bay on the south facing sandy shores of Hornby Island. But the south wind should not be trifled with in Tribune Bay and they were wise to take this tack. The winds had shifted a bit earlier than predicted and they were glad to be done with plowing south through the teeth of the breeze. After sharing a few stories, I was prompted to check weather sources and confirmed the south wind would continue for a couple of days. I still have an eye on Schooner Cove tomorrow as I should make good time with tide and wind in favor. But rainy weather could be in store.
