Not much wind yesterday, so mostly motored to Carter's beach. A beautiful spot with white sand but water that is anything but tropical! It was a rolly night in the anchorage as the wind was from the southwest but the waves were coming from the north. Put out a "flopper stopper" in the water which is a device which allows water to easily go through it in one direction only. They are easy to make and mine was made out of an old milk crate. It slows down the motion of the boat which makes it more comfortable.
To keep the boat more into the wind and a steadier pull for the anchor I put up the riding sail I made a few years ago. I will put this up any time the wind is of higher strength.
The winds today are up to 20 knots and in the direction we wish to go so we have decided to stay put, tomorrow hope to make Negro harbour.
Attached is a picture of carter's beach and the riding sail.
awesome pics, Shadow is doing fine you can see some pictures of him on Facebook
ReplyDeletesounds like so much fun, hope you have an amazing trip, Shadow and Heidi had their first argument over a rawhide so we have decided if they have them will keep a better eye on them, we think that Heidi tried to steal Shadow's, go figure us ladies always want everything even if it is not ours, things have been perfect since then, it is fun waking up with them both on the bed with me, glad though that it is a king size bed
