Last night was a little scary.  The boat was on the T-head at the end of the Getaway docks and the wind was blowing it hard against the dock.  We had 4 fenders out but they were flattened by the drop in temperatures that went from 65 to 35 in just 4 hours and by the force of the winds gusting to 60 mph. The boat was heeling between 20 and 30 degrees and the fenders became stuck under the dock.  Fortunately, the dock had rubber edging that protected the Pintita's hull until I was able to adjust two of the fenders.  Today has been cold (around 30) and windy (still 30 to 40 knots) but the sun is shining.  Cleaned the boat most of the day and posted ads for the Islander.  Captain Phil went to West Marine and got more Captain Tolley's for the v-berth sole.  I caught a ride with him up to the Cook's house (Joan's sister and her husband) and met her at around 3:30 for the drive home.
