Monday 19 June 2017. 32nm. 0.7 engine hours. 5.5 hour passage in sunshine. NNW3 and later SW5. We had a BBQ on the tiny beach and when we moved about 6’ for more shelter the waiting gulls made a dash for the meat on the grill but Frans was clearly hungrier as he scared them off. We are scouting for good anchorages now as we are having our next visitors on Friday and hope to do the ‘deserted island’ BBQ evening. We had anchored as close to shore as possible as northerly winds were expected overnight. When Frans got up at 2am to check the anchor the wind was northerly and we were very close to shore indeed and in only 3m of water. He stayed up until 6 to keep an eye on the depth and Sarah got her usual 8 hours+ of undisturbed sleep. Yes that hat and fleece have BBQ’d all over Scandinavia  The sheep were not interested in Frans using the pit toilet  |
