Don't Trust the weather guys

Hopefully when marijuana is legalized in North Dakota the weather forecast will be better.  Kadizzle took off by himself west on the lake yesterday.  It was supposed to be a strong wind from the East.  Ya sure ya betcha.  It turned out to be a light wind that hardly moved the boat at any speed.  With another boat Kadizzle anchored in Moose Bay.   All the winds were predicted to come from the East, but of course the wind came from every direction and meant bobbing on the anchor would be a problem.  The first place Kadizzle chose to anchor he should have stuck with.  Nope.  Kadizzle was a little concerned about how close he was to the other boat that chose to tie up to shore.  Kadizzle moved the Sovereign which turned out to be grounding number one.  The wind switched and another move was in order.  With total darkness one more move and one more grounding.  The wind came out of the North.  The final anchor set  worked almost all night with one slight need to turn the motor on.  Falling asleep just did not seem to occur.  So here we sit with a very strong wind coming from what seems to be due East. The weather guys promised South.  All this means it is going to be a tough slog going back to the marina.  If the wind would only go South as they promised it would be a sleigh ride.  Such is sailing.  This will be made worse by single handing the good ship. Just getting the anchor up with no help will be fun.
