Rainy day fun

There are winds steady around 20 kts, and gusting to 30... so no varnishing today.
The boat is rocking about quite a bit, and I've doubled up the dock lines. To be more precise, I added 6 more to the usual 3.
Normally, 3 dock lines are sufficient to keep the boat parked. With gusting winds and waves, it is necessary to better secure the boat when the parking lot goes crazy.
Here is a high-tech model showing how waves fetched along the sound go crazy when they round Harte's Island. We live at 'X'.


On a regular day, light winds can create rolling swells that are fun and remind us we live on a boat. On days like today, the wind and waves hit us on the beam and then the shallow shore reflects them right back out on the opposite beam. Yee haw!

I said all of that to say this:
Its rainy today, so I worked on indoor projects. We're still drafting up plans for what to do with our icebox space and here is one permutation. I'm using Google Sketchup because I'm a nerd.
