On October 4th, 2008, just hours before a big wind storm that was looming overhead, we moved to a protected moorage at Railway Marina. On the way over, the dinghy put a nice scratch on the transom's new paint. I am glad we did not paint the name on there yet. We have a great side-tie with a wind break from the SW direction and a breakwater of four floating docks filled with boats. With winds gusting to 30 mph, we sat in the cabin and had lunch. The noise from the tarps and whistling wind trough the masts, we hardly noticed more than a slight and occasional rocking. Notice in the picture, the large cruise vessel to our starboard. This is just one of two windbreaks that we have for the winter.
Skipper Sue and I are sneaking into our new moorage. If they can't see us, they can't charge us.
