Nine thirty and we were ready to leave Russian Bay. (Sad to go but I need the internet – to carry on with on-line banking we need a card reader and I have to email the bank to see if they will send it to Hellville). Just a mile and a half out of the bay, back on line.

As we got nearer we could see a few yachts at anchor.
