Currently sitting in Little Harbor on Jost in calm winds and rain. All local forecast and experienced locals are looking at 25 knot winds beginning late this evening and substantial (8’ plus) northerly swell. Active alerts advising keeping clear of north facing beaches and anchorages. Conditions should return to somewhat normal late Wednesday or early Thursday. Given the rush to protected anchorages, Boaty Ball has proven to be an excellent use of funds.

Totally unrelated to the weather, we have experienced several restaurants where they clearly show 18-20% service charge with recommends to additionally tip the waiter. In addition, several establishments created substantial grief when we requested separate checks. Clearly, customer service not topping out our ratings at these establishments.
