[status] We are settled in a very pleasant spot here in the Maskelynes after two aborted attempts to anchor yesterday. Both locations were recommended anchorages though we failed to find whatever sand patch might have been among the coral. Noting the rather large and proximate coral bombies and the absence of any nearby hull repair facilities we decided to relocate. To be fair, the weather conditions and sea state were not exactly ideal for completing a terminal test in advanced coral anchoring either. All the drama (not that there was alot - we have either become a bit more adept at maneuvering in close coral quarters or we have lost the urge to stress) was put behind us with a bake-a-thon in the afternoon. Two loaves of bread and a pile of Ginger Ninja Bread Throwing Stars (for Nate, the Ginga Ninja).
