It's midnight and I'm on anchor watch. So much for getting my first full night's sleep in a week. Arrived at Minerva Reef yesterday morning in bright sunshine but by evening a large black front was upon us. We'd been aiming to get here before it hit. Encircled by an almost 360 degree reef we only get the wind and not the rough seas. On anchor watch we constantly monitor our position to check for any dragging of the anchor. We have a GPS alarm set. This morning we swam in turqoise water that caressed our weary bodies, then had the first shower in a week, and are nice to be near again. I cooked from scratch serving up an olive and tomato pasta with green bean and carrot salad.
