The wind is howling out there, so far we have seen 35 knot gusts on the Tacktick, its fun the have this instrument  in the cockpit, when we were still  in Pender harbour , i always turned it on, when the storms started.  The generator is running, and we are making water, so far for the last two months,, we have not tanked any water from a marina, but made all our own. Its beautiful clear water all the time, the trick is to keep the filters clean,Bert washes them in the seawater, after each use, then runs fresh water, made by the watermaker through the system, to make sure there are no salt crystals left behind.  We found this out from Dean  and Leo,from Maddogvoyager, that its a good idea, as the crystals will eventually damage the main membrane. These guys have made their own water for the last 5 years!!  Bert caught 4 fish yesterday,one flounder, which he ate for lunch today, fried in Garlic butter. The other ones are cod, beautiful fish, with golden spots on their sides. I cook them in the oven, for Annie also, as she is getting weaker by the day, and eating the fish seems to help. One of the local eagles came close as Bert cleaned the fish and threw the remnants on the dock. He flew over, had a good look , and let the gull have the fish.  Some of you have asked about our WIFI system we have on board, it is from Marine WIFI Systems    islandtimepc.com    we have an antenna in the back, and a router inside, in the aft cabin, which we can turn on and off.  The site is online, where we can choose one of the free WIFI  available, it works great, and was inexpensive to buy.
