Canadian Eh?

There are many skills we learn as Canadians, a good dry sense of humour, humility and a lot about snow.  Well 2 out of 3 ain't bad for me and that third one came in handy this morning.  We got up at 6:00AM to drop lines at first light around 6:50AM for a full 10 hour day to our next port of call.  I did a quick look at the weather forecast to see what the day held and it was calling for 2CM of snow inland and a little rain and snow by the coast.

I was trying to decide what our best course of action would be - should we stay or should we go?  A quick look outside at that tell-tale grey slate sky told me all I needed to know and we went back to our warm bed!  A couple of hours later we awoke to a nice bright sky and some very fluffy white stuff that had taken NC by surprise!

No Problem for a few good Canucks!

The dock master, Dwayne, stopped by and suggested we take our Canadian boat and weather off his dock thank you very much!  I suggested that I was in NC now and was planning to act like one and stay indoors today thank YOU very much!

So we spent the day reading and I fixed a couple more minor issues on the boat.  Our fish finder and depth sounder packed it in due to some faulty wiring and our master head stopped flushing due to a bad switch - took a little bit of time to trouble shoot the FF but it was a simple fix on both counts.

Sue has her last office meeting tomorrow evening (tele-conference) so we plan to hang out for another day and I will fix up a couple more items and we will continue south on Wednesday Jan 12th.

We are not on any particular time table - so it's all good!

Here's to being resourceful Canadians!
