Effinham Bay, day two

Waiting for the winds to change. We take the dinghy to shore. A sign at the trailhead warns of wolf activity in the park system. It is hard to image running into a wolf on a small island in the middle of all this water. I decide not to find out and get back in the dinghy. After a ride around a nearby island we head back to the bay. A Nordhaven has anchored about 100 yards from out boat. We stop and chat with the occupants who are from Portland. After lunch we take the Monitor Wind Vane off the arch and reinstall it on the back of the boat. With Brad in the dinghy and me on board, the installation goes well. Now that the wind vane is on the stern, the dinghy needs to go on the bow. This is where we kept it all the time last year. We're getting the boat ready for the ocean voyage. Sheets and lines are tidied, the steps and dinghy are lashed to the deck. All we need to do is rig the wind vane. The wind vane is an alternate method used to steer the boat. At 20:00 temperature is 61. The humidity is high, so it feels warmer especially when he sun is shinning and the wind is calm. Getting a few sprinkles this evening. All is well.
