Here we sit under continual rain in Gorge Harbor. The predicted Southeast gale that we were to ride out never manifested. Tonight a Northwest gale is predicted to hit. Who knows? Is it time for another anchor watch?
If you're reading this, we got a break in the weather and made the half mile walk to Trude's cafe, a wonderfully hippy cafe and organic bakery replete with a rainbow colored, hand painted hippy mobile parked in the back yard. The allure of baked goods and free Internet access in a welcoming, bohemian establishment are calling to us through the foul weather..jpg)
The entrance to Gorge Harbor lives up to its name. The 200' wide entry is sided by cliffs on one side and boulders on the other. The cliffs still bear traces of native petroglyphs, but I didn't see them. Jiayu rode on the bow enjoying the scenery and paintings while I took great joy in the tail wind pushing us straight through this narrow channel, standing ever ready for the turbulent air in the constricted channel throw my mainsail to the other side of the boat. It took all of my attention.
Sure enough, to no one in particular, I called out “Jibe Ho!” as the boom came swinging across with scant warning. I caught it midway by the mainsheet and took some of the pop out of its swing to starboard. I wonder if I'll be able to sail out of here?

滂沱大雨中，我們靜坐於峽谷灣中。我們原先準備對抗的東南強風從未到臨。今晚又預報有西北強風。誰知道？又是另一個守錨夜晚嗎？
結果，隔一天風和日麗，我們走了半英里來到楚得咖啡，一個可愛的嘻皮風咖啡館和有機麵包店，門口停著一輛手繪彩虹班顏色的嘻皮風破車。在幾日的壞天氣候，烘烤食物、免費網路，以及溫暖、波西米亞式的環境召喚著我們。
峽谷灣灣如其名。70公尺寬的灣口一邊是懸崖，一邊是峻石。懸崖上仍有上古時期印地安人留下的繪製圖騰，但我沒有看到。Jiayu坐在船首欣賞風景與彩繪，而我則趁興抓住推我們進入此狹窄水道的最後一絲微風，全神貫注。受限水道中，不穩定的氣流瞬間可能將主帆推向另一側。
當風毫無欲警的將帆桅飛快推向另一方時，雖無危險，我仍大叫：「順風轉！」。我快速抓住主帆索，順勢緩緩將繩索放出完成轉向。我思索：我能航行出灣嗎？
