Took off from ASD's winter dock and headed to Ilwaco WA for the annual haul out. I looked at the weather and moved the departure day back to Wednesday as there was some winds coming up Thursday Afternoon.
We left at 10 AM and had nice smooth run or 57.6 miles. As we pulled into Ilwaco marina the wind started and was blowing us away from the dock. Took 5 runs at the dock and finally had a bow line tied and was able to bring the stern around.By 5 PM the we had a steady 25mph and it was going to get stronger over night. Well this sucks as I was adding additional lines. Good thing I did. By 10 PM we had gale winds blowing. Never seen white capes inside a marina. By 8 AM, the haul out was cancelled and they don't work on weekends. 11 AM on Monday is our new haul out.Not much sleep last night with the howling of the wind and creaking of the lines. The winds pick up and we are having 42mph wind gust with 32mph steady.So here ASD sits in the marina in the wind and rain. Winds are suppose to reduce later tonight. 
A few pics from the travel down river.
