An auspicious start to the year. No wind at 10:00 so I installed the new float switch. Job done, the breeze filled in from the SE at 3 to 5 kts. About 35 with signs of the approaching front. Out for about three hours, two teas and some nuts. Started on the next chapter of Mischief in Patagonia where the shore party starts the ascent of the Calvo Glacier, just off the Straits of Magellan. Very peaceful. (The Bay that is, not Patagonia.)
Very calm this morning.
Approaching warm front.
High water, the marsh is starting to flood. This is the south side of the entrance to Jones Tide Pond, where Beaton’s is located.
The first line reads, “It is a curious fact that although knowing full well that one will soon be wet through, one always shrinks from starting out wet.”
