After the mandatory first caffeine hit and a heads up in the Meerkat Mansion the incoming tide was seen to be running East to West and an eight knot SW breeze emboldened me to hoist the main and the anchor and go for broke. In the event it was a straightforward affair with the wind getting even lighter as I entered the marina and without ruffling the feathers of a single seagull slowly came to a stop alongside. For proof see attached.
