Winds were again 15+ knots from the WSW. We sailed 5 miles south hoping we could tack and sail all the way to Newcastle. However, the wind had swung to the west, so the opposite tack would have put us in Port hope: 12 miles to go about 4 miles in about 3 hours.
We dropped our sails, and motored the rest of the way, just wanted to get home.
Besides, the dog was freaking out in all the wind and waves.
Don and Judy did some sailing past Westleyville all the way to Newcastle. They got into Newcastle as we were almost at Darlington Provincial Park.
We got to WYC at 6:30pm, and the water levels had dropped significantly, as we got stuck in our slip.
On the plus side, we didn't have to bother with dock lines!
