We slept well after our day out. 

Around 8.00 this morning the wind kicked in from the north and has been quite strong at times.  Nevertheless it has been very hot again today. 

We have spent the day on the boat.  Richard has run ashore for some water to make sure we are keeping the tanks topped up, and I have broken out my fishing rod but without success so far.  I saw a big fish go past my bait but it was not interested; even our friendly local fisherman who goes past each evening in his small boat was struggling and had only caught one small fish which he showed to me on his way home. 

This evening the anchorage is quiet with little wind and the swell is mostly behaving at the moment.
