Pulling Anchor

Departing The Anchorage

Narrow Entrance

Tight Outlet To Navigate

1030-Arrived at new anchorage. Should work for at least 24 hours. Checked out an alternate anchorage to the south about a mile which looked okay too.

Navigation - Quads on left, Marine on right, Satellite on phone. 

It began to rain as I approached the anchorage. Anchored in 10' of water. Put out a 7:1 scope in what appeared to be a sand bottom.

Arrival At New Anchorage

Light rain falling so I did the dishes before it comes down harder. I will likely be stuck inside today. Heat is on. 68F/57F.

Leg 7 - 7.7 Miles

Destination Anchorage

Traveled 7.6 miles on Leg 7 of the trip on Day 9. Halfway if I stay the full trip time. Undecided about that.

Winds switch to north tomorrow afternoon so I may have to move to the north side of this anchorage. Wavelets are coming around the point now in a SE wind. May have to lay the stern anchor to hold bow to waves if it gets worse.

Steady Rain

1250-Finished baking and eating a large peanut butter chocolate chip muffin accompanied by coffee. Listened to music while I worked. Rain continues light but steady. Will read and nap this afternoon.

1530-Got up from a good nap. Still overcast and raining. Winds are as forecast about 9-10 mph from SE. Boat is riding smoothly.

I read my e-Book for awhile, then napped, after turning the bed sheets and pillow case inside out so I don't have to look at all the mosquito blood stains.

Dinner was chili, salad, rolls, and red wine.

Listening to my audio book and thawing strawberries for an ice cream treat.

1745-Ice cream was great as usual! Now I'm having my nightly Baileys. Still overcast with light rain. 69F/56F.

1900-Dark sky, but it stopped raining, at least for now. 69F/57F. Will read then hit the sack.

2015-To bed.
