[status]We?re anchored off a tiny but beautiful white sand beach in about 4 meters of clear water. So far, of the five nights we?ve been here, all but one time we?ve had to stern-tie to a buoy, line or tree or stern anchor. The water is pretty deep and the bays we?ve been in are pretty small. Most of the time, there are lines with buoys on them that you can tie to. Here, we had to put out a stern anchor.

Up until yesterday, we didn?t think bugs were a problem. Yesterday, the sand flies appeared. We are each nursing a couple of itchy bites. This must be unusual here as someone even said something about it on Meri Leask?s radio net (Bluff Fishermans Radio).

We?re off to explore the north arm of Port Pegasus today. Happy travels, boat work and sailing everyone.
