Portland Roads was a bit of a disappointment for me. The weather was a bit windy for my small dinghy and there was nothing tempting me to go ashore. After an average comfort night at anchor I decided on an early morning start north again.
FLINDERS TO PORTLAND ROADS
Another early morning start, we departed from Stokes Bay before six, the sky was just starting to lighten in the east but in the anchorage it was still dark. We arrived and departed from Stokes Bay without seeing the shore. The reason for an early start today is that the run up to Morris Island is around sixty miles and I do like to get anchored and settled down if possible before sunset.
