Grandma Helping Out





Linda is with Scott, Pamela and Camryn. I happened to call her just as she was walking into the room to see Camyrn for the first time so I could at least hear her excitement. She will be there to help out until a week from Monday. Scott was able to stay overnight at the hospital as Linda was at their home and looking after their dogs Dolly and Sophie. Meanwhile back here in Annapolis, what a change in the weather. A front came through Wednesday night with very high winds. Several boats dragged in Spa Creek but none in our immediate area. Some damage resulted and one ran aground. We pulled in the anchor off the stern as the wind was from that direction allowing us to swing around and into the wind. Last night high winds were again forecast so we all conferred here in our local area and decided we would all add second anchors off the bow. I added our Fortress FX37 at about a 45 degree angle off our primary anchor. This is our storm anchor so I knew I would sleep well with little concern about the wind. There are no boats in front of us so I didn’t have to worry about anyone dragging down on us. We now turning the heat on in the morning to take the chill off. Once the sun it up it stays comfortable all day.
