We were passing directly in front of the entrance to Pearl Bay at 17:00 yesterday and decided to pull in for the night. One of our favourite anchorages and it was deserted other than a resident fishing boat. Anchor set by 17:30, V&T and crisps in hand by 17:45. Hot shower and hot food and great sleep.
 
Up at 06:30, coffee, breakfast bar and check the engine oil after so much motoring. Needed a litre of oil so set about putting that in. Dropped the filler cap during the operation and then couldn't find it. Everything out of the engine room, toolboxes, spares, more toolboxes, floor boards up...nothing....cuss word or two. Side panel off the other side of the engine room...nothing...cuss word or three. Noi steps in to help with the search and immediately finds the bloody thing sitting on the side of the engine. everything loaded back in the engine room, anchor up and out of the cut by 08:00, an hour behind schedule but who's counting. Hope the day gets better!!
