I feel like we’ve been talking about Eta for weeks now. We brought up the dinghy, secured the sail cover, checked all our ground tackle last night and went to bed expecting to be tossed in winds and rain. It was quiet all night but then by about 7 a.m. Eta made her appearance. And what an entrance it was! The wind howled, the mast shook, the rigging moaned. The current tried to push us one way and the wind tried to turn us in the opposite direction. We saw/felt/heard gusts of up to 35 knots coupled with sheets of rain. So I buried myself in writing blog entries!
And then by 3 p.m., as if a switch had been thrown, it was all over.
And at 4 p.m., she said a proper goodbye:
Just catching up with you. So glad you made it through Eta OK!I have enough of a problem handling hurricanes on land never mind being on a boat!
