Wind blowing out of the east at 15 knots this morning. Even though the wind is favorable, we decided to stay here for the weekend. There are gale warnings for tonight and possible storm warnings for tomorrow, so we'll stay snug and secure here.
Walked around a little in the morning and bought a few more groceries. In the afternoon, we took the bus to nearby Bridgeport and visited the Barnum Museum. P.T. Barnum lived in Bridgeport most of his life. We were surprised to learn he didn't start his famous circus until he was sixty years old. He'd already made and lost several fortunes operating museums, promoting Tom Thumb and Jenny Lind, and holding political offices. There was a really neat model of his circus that had been hand-carved by one man over a sixty-year period.
When we got back to the boat, Roy attached two lines from the fuel dock to the weather side of the Jofian, so she won't bang the dock during the storm. Winds of 57 knots are predicted!
