as we’ve had winds over 25 kts along with temps in the 20’s and 30’s. Along with the strong westerlies we had water levels a foot or two below normal.
Had fires and tea on board yesterday and today. Finished the first section of Mostly Mischief with Tilman crossing Bylot Island and returning to England. Based on a mention in this book, I found a copy of Spring on an Artic Island, about a bird research expedition to Bylot in 1954. Looks interesting.
Here are some pics from this weekend:
This is the general map for the next set of voyages I’m reading about. Tilman starts this section describing the work done to keep Mischief’s dodgy frames from letting go. His boat is 60 years old at his point. Sounds familiar!
Sunday’s fire. Reasonably warm below, honking on deck.
Blowing 22 to 28 SSW
Fire at home on Saturday afternoon.
Sunny afternoon, reasonably happy plants.
