Bit of a last minute anchor spot

20190826 Shungu-Mibili Island Lat 07 Deg 40.674'S Lon 039 Deg 40.905'E Well this is a bit of a last ditch attempt at anchoring, The place I had intended to anchor had a lot of fishing boats and a big camp, they say not to anchor near big fishing camps, so I moved on, this is not particularly protected to say the least, but I ran out of light and this was my best bet I dropped in 20 meters over mud, it will do for the night. Last night and today went well, I have been beating into the wind and against the current so its slow going, but I had the odd wind shift and a few things go my way so I covered reasonable amount of ground. Its been quite pleasant sailing, but a bit of work as the wind has been up and down so reef in staysail up, reef out Genoa out ect. I will sleep well tonight, I got a couple of cat naps last night but not much. Alls good with the boat, I haven't been pushing her too hard. Had a chat to Bruce on Neptunes Highway on the HF this morning, he sounded good, I had to cut it a bit short due to a rain storm, but will try again tomorrow. That's about it a quick feed and then to bed, Early start tomorrow.
