What a beautiful day! The sun shone brightly, the scenery revealed by the lifted clouds was magnificent, and we had the whole place to ourselves! We didn’t have to go anywhere today, so we took full advantage with a well-deserved lie-in and a leisurely breakfast and cappuccinos. After breakfast we upped anchor to motor out and check the shrimp pot. Sadly, there were no shrimp, but even that couldn’t get our spirits down.
Once we were back at anchor, we lowered the dinghy and headed out. I took a boat picture, so you can see the fabulous setting.
We took the dinghy on a spin around the head of the bay. Like our last few anchorages, the water here was dark and tea-colored, which made for superb reflections.
Before we came back in from our dinghy trip, I took a 360 degree video of the bay. It starts and ends with the head of the inlet, where we anchored, and shows how beautiful this bay is in every direction.
Back at the boat, we got down to business. With the rain stopped, we were able to transfer fuel from the bladders to the main fuel tank, check oil levels, and dry out the storage holds. Ryan also rewired the three solar panels to work in parallel (since they don’t work as well in series if any one of the three is in shade) and adjusted the angle of the radar to better suit our slow-boat running angle. I had a nap in the sun on the back deck.
After a light dinner cooked on the BBQ, we took another spin in the dinghy, cooling off and enjoying the golden, evening light.
This anchorage was such a treat. I’m glad we made the effort to come up here. Tomorrow we start working our way toward Cape Caution.
