On the Beach

There was a nice sandy beach that dried at low water (tidal range about 6m/18') at the head of Estero Quintepu. We anchored over the beach so that we could go aground at low tide and scrub the barnacles from the bottom. As I was overly conservative in positioning the boat the first time -- one needs to always consider whether or not the next high tide will be high enough to float off or not, I ended up doing the scrubbing of the barnacles at night. The boat sails a little better now.
