Sou'easter at Christmas

Grape Escape, Elaine Bay 

Elaine Bay, Christmas Eve

The trip home, Christmas Day

Capsize Point

Comfortable spot, unfazed

Later, aboard Grape Escape

A SE wind at Christmas is not the forecast anyone wants, but hey... when the going gets tough, the tough get going. We were tucked up in about the one place you can really get out of it, Take-in Bay South on the Kenepuru. Then Erin messaged Sue and said they were headed to Tennyson Inlet and we set off to find them. So, Christmas Eve we were in Elaine Bay. We were kind-of sheltered, but there was no escaping the gusts and the lop. Christmas morning dawned shut in with wind and rain. Sue was spotted in her towel when Grape Escape came alongside and said they were heading in. We too headed in and joined them for drinks and eats back in Havelock. Total of 65 miles.
