I was surprised last night when I came upstairs about ten to see the Comox ferry at the dock. Normally at that time the ferry would be docked for the night in Comox. I guess they saw enough of a break in the storm to make a very late crossing.

By this morning both the Comox and Texada ferries were running on their usual schedule. When I came downstairs at lunch I almost expected that the ferries would have been cancelled again as the winds had picked up and the water was looking very rough. But the Comox ferry was in at the dock and the Texada ferry was waiting to take its place. However I noticed that when the Comox ferry got closer to open water they took their “storm route” around the edge of Texada. All is pretty quiet now and I think we are back to normal for a few days.

I’ve been working on the last of my 12-Day projects all day. I wish I could say I was finished but I have at least another days work ahead of me before I can say that. I’m tired of doing the same thing over and over and over (yes, multiples of the same thing) so I’m going to quit before I make some stupid mistake.

I’m trying hard to catch up to the daily clues in my October stitch-along. As of now I’m nine days behind but I have a whole day of cross stitching ahead of me tomorrow.

UPDATE: 6:15 PM

BC Ferries surprised me again this afternoon. When I went downstairs after writing my post I was surprised that the Comox ferry wasn’t at the dock. The wind had died down considerably and I didn’t see any whitecaps on the water. The noon crossing must have been rough as they cancelled the afternoon ferry. So far they are still listing the evening ferry as a go.
