We planned to leave by 10 but Jonny was concerned that water was not flowing out of one of the through holes and he spent some time in the engine room trying to troubleshoot it. We finally took off at 10:20 and the water was flowing well - so no problem!
It was another beautiful day for cruising with not a cloud in the sky and only a little chop on the bay. We had mostly following seas and once we made a turn and were in the shadow of the shore, everything was smooth sailing.
I worked on the blog but unfortunately lost all my work once again because of poor connectivity. This time I had the presence of mind to take a picture of what I had written so far.
Archie was like Velcro, cuddling up next to us or sitting on our laps much of the day. When he wasn’t next to us, he was nestled up in the furthest corner of the v-berth. The new flavored CBD chewies we’ve been giving him to help with seasickness seems to be working.
By 4:30 we found a nice place to drop the hook on Jackson Creek in Deltaville.
We took Archie on the dinghy to a public dock with no ladder. All it had was a dilapidated tire hanging on the side. We had to use it as a step ladder to get up to the dock and the tide was quite low so it was quite a climb and fairly treacherous.
But the neighborhood we walked through was attractive and we had a nice chat with some of the friendly residents.
That evening we had wine on the aft deck but since it was getting chilly we had our lamb chop dinner inside the salon. There was a glorious moonrise which the photos don’t do justice to. Our trip is nearing its end and we’re sad, but happy to spend these special evenings on anchor in beautiful settings.
