Harbinger

This week we put out our second set of fenders because NOAA was forecasting continuous winds out of the East at 20-30 kt here in Puget Sound.

As it turned out, we didn't see anything over a fairly mild 20 kt, so it was not strictly necessary. But the storms of winter are coming, so even if the forecast was incorrect, it was a harbinger of things to come.

(I took this picture in a winter storm in 2006, when the wind was blowing 40+ kt.)
