The
morning saw Dad get up, give Rhiannon one warning to bring her stuff
to wash, being ignored, Rhiannon realising he was gone and getting up
in a rush and calling him.
I
myself was a bit more relaxed about getting up and later on in the
morning I passed up on my usual porridge food and had a bread
breakfast with the rest. After breakfast Caro and Dad went shopping
whilst Stefano and me got the boat ready. Just as the two shoppers
came back I started up the engine and the boat left a few minutes
later with Rhiannon at the helm. Going out the harbour our place was
taken up immediately.
Outside
we were later followed by a couple more sailing boats and whilst Dad
and Stefano were discussing the predicted wind conditions I yelled
down that we had seven knots of wind. Sails went up immediately. For
the rest of the morning we were accompanied by a drizzle of rain and
aft wind. New experience for 3/5 of the boat crew who had been
sailing against the wind for most of the time. I commented to Dad how
“boring” downwind sailing can be after having to go against the
wind for four days. Short time later the music was turned up and
Rhiannon was the DJ.
Later
on once a few musics went through the mood calmed down a bit as the
rain was still holding up. Everybody got rather sleepy and relaxed.
On the horizon a lot of the boats from Hvar were in a regatta but we
only met one which seemed to have come of course a bit closer to our
track.
We
took the sails in in the end, as the wind had come down to about four
knots. The first spot we had aimed to get to was reached at about
three o'clock, with nine knots of wind. I was felling a bit tired and
hungry and was looking forward to anchoring. As the wind had picked
up Dad suggested to carry on to the next anchorage, so I made myself
some food and then went to have a nap.
When
I woke up again we were just of the anchorage point, so whilst
Stefano was anchoring I set my anchor monitoring app.
The
bay we sought shelter in from the predicted 20 knot winds at night is
a really nice area. Clear water down to twelve metres with sandy and
grassy ground. After anchoring Caro started cooking and Stefano was
tiding up his fishing road (which had twists in it from a
malfunction). And low and behold, whilst dragging the rope back
through the water he caught a Sepia (type of squid). Meal for the
night was guaranteed. After that a nice meal consisting of pasta,
pork and Sepia.
Then
bed.
