Since 28th May up until 3rd June we have been enjoying all of the delights that Musket cove's anchorage has to offer, including: paddle boarding, snorkelling, swimming, fishing, playing games, reading, yoga and generally enjoying a slower pace of life.

Skipper has been diligently persevering with his morse code on a daily basis. Josh has been working hard and also helping others with their various technical needs! Matt has been up KTDs mast again to attach a soft shackle to the staysail halyard. One big boat chore was also completed: the wires in a few of the bulkhead lights had become oxidised so Matt, Josh and the skipper got to work on repairs while Brendan offered his moral support.

We also made yoghurt, crackers, rotis and bread rolls on board.
Tuesday was spent hunkering down as the rain and high winds hit the bay.

The spare parts for KTD, (autohelm and chain counter) also finally arrived which Brendan was pleased about. Once KTD had fitted and calibrated their spare parts, a plan was hatched to leave the anchorage as the skipper had itchy feet for a new horizon.
