You’ve probably heard of northerlies, southerlies and so on, wind from the north, the south, etc. We’ve had gusterlies yesterday and today. It’s mostly from the east but varies between no knots and 15 knots in a flash. We’d prefer the no knots while at anchor. We call those winds nonerlies.
Speaking of words but with no real relation to this post, we have a device on board that converts 12 volts from our batteries to 115 volts AC so we can power appliances. It’s called an inverter. Why? It doesn’t invert anything. It converts. From now on, we’re going to call it our converter! -Rich (possibly with too much time on his hands)
