Sunday morning. The night on anchor was very stormy, winds and gusts over 30knots. Tiki sits beam on to the wind! Upright and a slight roll. There was nothing I could do to persuade her to head to the wind and she is happiest beam on. We had 60 or 70m of chain out and it held perfectly. I had been expecting an early sail if she dragged in the night. We are on a Lee shore so we would only drag to the open sea.
The conditions are still strong and we will not be able to get ashore or anchor in west bay to go ashore, it is open to the NW so is not a goer right now. Shame. The plan will be to relax to lunch time and then head further south overnight and through tomorrow.
This should give us some coverage on Telstra as we approach the coast for an update on the weather. There seems to be no routine coverage on VHF that I can find so far.
