The 2 red sailboats left today so we are in splendid isolation, except for the many hikers who look like ants as they scurry along the ridge tops. The views must be spectacular as the island is very narrow at this end, so they would be able to see miles in all directions. We are wondering how many 'happy snaps' Sunflower will be in as I am sure we must look very picturesque!:)
We are still concerned about the storm due later tonight, although looking at the beautiful weather today it is hard to believe bad weather is on its way! We have started to roll a bit although the winds are light they are all over the place and we have swung 360 degrees several times. We hope our anchor chain isn't too tangled.
I have sent an email to the nearby marina to check on vacancies, as we have also seen 2 other sail boats head that way. It makes you wonder if they know something we don't! But we are reluctant to go into a marina unless we really have to, especially as we are enjoying it so much here.
I baked a cake today. It must be something about being on anchor that brings out the baker in me! It has been a long time since I did any baking though and I had to throw my open flour away as it had creatures in it. Luckily there was plenty more on board.
We are hoping by tomorrow the worst of the weather will be over. I'll let you know.
zero miles and still wrong country.
