Our current anchored position is: 13 51 565S and 143 42 736E
After a fairly moderate day of sailing, despite the predicted 25 knots of wind (we were lucky to get more than 10 knots). Flat calm seas followed by no wind at the end, a bit like yesterday. However, we were almost at our destination when we had to fire up the iron genny and motor in the last bit.
No sooner had we dropped anchor behind Hannah Island when the wind came up and conditions changed radically. In the end, we upped anchor and moved further around the island to find more protection from the incoming swells.
Troutbridge, again, arrived after a couple of hours with Peter complaining that he'd had to motor sail most of the way. By comparison, we'd had perfect sailing conditions right til the end and managed almost 6 knots of speed with only moderate winds.
Our proposed route tomorrow will mean a slightly earlier start so, right now, its off to bed.
