[status] To our pleasant surprise we were able to sail the last half of the way into Pelican yesterday. It is another lovely little boardwalk based town, albeit larger than Elfin, that survives on fishing and tourists in the summer. We've been told by locals that we will certainly see bears here down by the bridge and up at the dump. Sure pleased to be here given the weather forecast, which is for winds from the NNE gusting up to 50kts. Wind that strong and from that direction would blow straight into Elfin whereas here in Pelican we are extremely well protected and much further inland. We're keeping our fingers crossed this weather passes through by Sunday night, but according to the EC model there is a chance an even bigger storm gusting from the SW may hit us on Tuesday and Wednesday. So far that second storm looks unstable and may stay further south than forecasted by the EC model. The GFS models says the weather will be fine from Monday on, so we're hoping the GFS is right and that storm does stay much further south.

[weather] Clear skies, no wind or swell of course, but it is raining and we are in fog again.
