While there a random 4 a.m. call on the VHF radio woke us. As we made a quick peak out the hatch we were surprised to find we were dragging rapidly through the channel. Our anchor chain had tied around the anchor due to the actions of the strong tide against the strong wind. We had some bouncy times there!
COVID - 19
During the 5 days we spent on anchor behind Sugar Loaf Island we watched the waterfront restaurant across from us go from being packed with young people over the week-end to closed due to the virus.
We are so very grateful to have a cell phone that allows us contact with our loved ones back home as well as our daughter and her family who are travelling in the South Pacific.
During this time, it was with horror that we heard on Fox radio of line-ups generated by the virus at gun shops. How terrifying is that?
We are sorry to be away from our family at this difficult time but we're also grateful to be living on board ..... a true self-imposed form of social distancing if ever there was one.
