We decided to spend one more day here at Blind Channel because of strong winds. Our little marina has been subject to swells all day. They got really bad as I was cooking dinner. I was committed to the job. Our neighbors, on a Tartan 37 found comfort on shore. Imagine cooking on a boat,hile wearing roller skates!
I have been waiting for this trip so I could learn to use my new (GW)pressure cooker. It is the new wiggleless type. I made brown rice last night…cooked perfectly in 25 min. I made a sweet and sour gluten for the rice.
Today I cooked lentils in 13 min. Rice+lentils=Majed Drah…served with Taziki sauce and homemade Catalina Dressing. They had fresh leaf lettuce at the marina store for the salad. Mark is the dishwasher tonight.
I have been reading Julia Childs cookbook-“The French Chef”. I have made one of her meals-Chicken Breasts, Risotto, and Peas. Actually I don’t think French Cooking is any harder than most vegetarian cooking.
Skipper and I walked along the beach this morning while Mark had the pleasure of fixing the leaking holding tank.
We all did two more walks. One 2-kilometer walk up the rain forest hill to see a 800 year-old cedar. Walking to the point opposite the marina through the forest was much shorter and easier.
The current had pushed the boat further away from the dock when we got back from the walk. As Mark was pulling the boat back to the dock so we could get on, Skipper ignored my command to "wait" and tried to jump onboard. He couldn't get his hind legs up on deck and fell into the water! Mark was able to pull him out. I hope that dog has learned his lesson!
