We arrived at Percy Group at 1845 and made to the southern anchorage in order to stay out of the northerly wind. We are here at one of the rare times that the popular west bay is untenable. We anchored in the moonlight which made life easier. We ate the fresh fish we caught and headed to bed very tired. The wind is almost howling from the north, 30knots maybe or a bit less. I can never decide if a wind gauge is useful, I have sailed so much without one over the last years I give it little attention, focusing on how the boat sounds feels under sail and on anchor. I have checked and rechecked the anchor and let out about 60m with the stubber in place in max 10m of water so there is plenty of scope. We have the place to ourselves. Tomorrow may be a trip ashore if the wind dies down and then a run south overnight to see where we get to.
