[status]Minerva stopover. We were already to leave today but there's no wind until the evening, can't leave on a Fri so Sat is the new ETD. Gulf Harbour Radio this morning are predicting the best weather window for next week leaving on Sat. So time for some more relaxing, exploration and socialising.
Our day has started with some excitement as Doug spared a big kingy from the deck of our boat! Amazing!!
Then walking at low tide on the reef yesterday evening I found a HUGE and very old copper nail. I've decided it's off the Endeavour.... The ship's carpenter biffed an old piece of timber with the nail in it overboard about 150 yrs ago, the timber finally rotted away on top of the reef leaving the nail waiting for me. Yes really. All well onboard.[END]
The cabin of a small yacht is truly a wonderful thing; not only will it shelter you from a tempest, but from the other troubles in life, it is a safe retreat.
