STILL RELAXING IN ABEL TASMAN

The weather this morning is calm.  However, the forecast has been talking up a N’ly blow for this afternoon and they seem quite serious about it.  After breakfast I secured the dinghy on deck, lashed any loose gear down and made everything secure on deck.  Then I picked up the anchor and headed over to Adele Island anchorage.  I found a good spot in seven meters of water and laid out plenty of chain on a double length snubber.

During the afternoon a number of other boats arrived in the anchorage until there were about fifteen anchored about.  The wind built in the late afternoon, the anchorage did provide good shelter and the blow didn’t really amount to much in the end

I didn’t go ashore today. – still relaxing.
