We're now briefly here in Casco Bay as an overnight
stop after a very frustrating trip - as so often here there just wasn't enough
wind to sail. And when we came to leave Monhegan we found that the anchor chain
had somehow knotted itself. It took us two hours to get the anchor itself up
onto the deck in rder to undo the knot. It is a complete mystery to me how the
anchor, while lying on the seabed, could manage to pass not just one,
but two loops of chain over itself. I'd have said it was
impossible.
And now it's raining; but last night we had dinner
in the cockpit watching five ospreys fishing.
