Devils Day 21

Thursday, July 28th, 2005

Last night, As we drifted to sleep @ 11:20, 305 (Damen) was leading the group [see Day 20] to the road. By 11:40 pm, they were in vehicles and protection rangers were waiting on Hwy 13 to interview the two guides among the group. Due to the late show, we were pretty tired. Rough seas and Thursday kept visitors down. Had only two sailboaters walk from South Landing. Mostly we cleaned and Diane picked blueberries for a blueberry-upside-down cake improvised out of pancake batter.




Around 3:30 we saw storm clouds gathering. It looked like a huge centipede (caterpillar) with icy legs crawling toward us. We went up to tower to watch. About 20-25 Kt. Winds from north and it looked like it hit everything from Sand to Outer Island. Dropped perhaps ΒΌ inch rain, disrupted the end of workday boat transport. Walked to south landing, cleaned out house had chicken curry and s'mores during sunset.
