Today's sail from Pelican Bay to the Ding Darling anchorage was as good as it gets. The winds ranged from a beam reach to close hauled at 8 to 13 kt for all but the last couple of miles. The seas were nearly flat and the temperature perfect in the low 80's under an overcast sky. The only thing bad was that Ding Darling is only 15 nm from Pelican Bay so we arrived there around 1pm wishing we could keep on sailing. Ding Darling is a traditional stop for us, however, so stop we did. Except for the occasional fishing boat, we have had the entire anchorage to ourselves.
