Amazing engineering.
We had a Thanksgiving to remember. We invited Abram to spend it with us. We left Vadalia about 8 am and motored about 25 miles (that was all we could take). The winds came up and made it horrible. We stopped about 1 pm and had lunch. We towed his canoe behind Rosie. The waves were so bad his canoe got swamped. So we stopped early and found an anchorage between two dikes out of most of the wind. We had grilled potatoes and onions, chicken and sliced tomatoes, followed by pumpkin pie. Abram camped on the shore and we left the next morning. I hope we meet up again sometime. That night though was the roughest we have had to date. The wind was unbelievable. I was up most of the night checking the anchor and tyring to keep Rosie from ramming us. Then in the morning we had fog again. If it was all like that, I think I would rather live in Alaska than on a boat, but fortunately it's not. Today was a good day, sunny, sunny, sunny.
