We anchored in about 4.5 meters with about a meter of tide, it went to about 3.4 meters on the way in. Last night and yesterday were pretty long, and slow going, fighting current all of the way to the Peninsular, then we got to bear away and throw some rag up, the current also backed off. The wind was a bit on our side at the beginning, but backed after a while, so we were beating all of the way, it was only 10 to 15 knots so quite pleasant, there were also lots of nets to dodge, and a couple of thunderstorms, but no real dramas, we sailed all of the way from the peninsular. We haven't left the boat yet I was up all night so had a bit of a sleep this morning, Jan got some sleep but not much so we are having a lazy day and will go ashore in the morning, went for a dip though, the water was not super clear but nice all the same. Not much else to say, alls well and we will probably hang around here for a couple of days.
