Safe anchorage in a busy port

Another good day to sail south. However, it took much longer than we had hoped. We went fast when we had the tidal current with us, but it goes so slow when it isn't. So we made it into Harwich as the sun was setting. The picture is of a large container ship docked under the cranes. The crane comes rolling out, grabs the container by the four corners, and lifts the container and brings it to the dock. It is amazing how quickly they unload the ships. It reminded us of the scene from "Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy" where they are creating a new earth. It was really quite dark when we were anchoring - which is never a fun way to end a full day of sailing. There is a low to the north of us and a low to the south of us and for the next couple of days we will be socked-in by a couple of gales. We have found a secure anchorage and our plan is to relax and wait for the next break in the weather.
