The wind picked up as predicted so we hugged the lee shore of Port Dick and did a short paddle around mid day. 
We collected some fresh water along the way. 
After the paddle we hiked back to the east side again. The wind was howling big time but in the forest it was really neat. Especially the moss on the pines. 
A small fishing boat anchored and part of the crew hiked to the east side to take a look. They ended up heading out later in the day. If they had not, they would have been stuck like us for another day. Wind was blowing at 30 knots and the ocean was getting quite rough. 
After that we called it a day. The next day was wild windy and rainy until the evening. I spent more than 24 hours in my little one man tent. The front passed in the evening and we got a brief look at the sun. We also got the Angela Happy Dance. 
It was really nice to get a break from the wind and rain. The night before I was up and outside in the middle of the night and in the rain fixing a corner of the tarp that had blown free. I turned around and found Angela outside her tent doing the same. The wind had ripped a corner right off her tarp. We ended up moving her tent to a better spot with more wind protection. Wild times ?.
That’s it for this no paddle day. Happy Paddling
