Happy Halloween! But difficult day. New lesson learned and hopefully remembered as it was told to us often enough in our months of prep - when the weather is good, GO. We dallied too long, the wind shifted causing VERY disturbed seas outside the Scituate harbor. We barely got out of the harbor before things, including the cat, went skidding. We bucked it for only several minutes before David said, wisely, "we're going back." Oh yeah! Checked out a too expensive marina. Talked by phone to a couple of friends in the area and secured a mooring in the inner harbor. Yes! Bought some additional groceries, made soup, lashed down everything that could be lashed, bundled the prayer flags and are sitting peacefully. Expect to wait out the nor'easter until probably Monday or Tuesday. Good books and naps await.

Oh, to add to the difficult day I've learned that neither my MacBook nor my version of Safari is "supported." Does that make me old?
