Nice southwest breeze, so we were able to sail all day. We planned on anchoring in Betsy Bay, but when we got there, there was no protection and the wind was quite strong. I really messed up when I was getting the anchor ready. Roy had furled the headsail. I needed some slack to slip the line over the hook to keep it out of the way of the anchor, so I released the brake as I usually do, not thinking of the strong wind. The wind caught the sail and blew it way out. Roy had a real struggle to bring it back in.
There was too much wind and wave in Betsy Bay, so we decided to motor around the point to Abraham Bay. It was quite a ways, and the day was getting late, so we pulled into Start Bay and anchored in twenty feet of clear water. It sure felt good to be settled down at last.
