Anchor up 0637, anchor down 1510
It took about 30 minutes to get the anchor up, including a couple of rests. Anyway, it was once again an almost perfect sail. The wind came up nicely, must have been 20kts most of the time and after the first course change wind and sea were behind me (it’s behind you!). The only thing missing was the Sun. Overcast all day with the occasional spot of rain. Oh well, you can’t have everything. I arrived within one hour of Calypso which seemed to impress.
Tomorrow’s epic is another 40nm run (hopefully) to Portland Rd, shown on some charts as Rocky Bay.
