Well, yet another plan goes down the gurgler! When you decide to go on an extended cruise, wise people will tell you to NEVER, EVER have a destination and a date. You can have one, or the other, but never both. They are right - just accept it and you will be much happier. We had planned to leave for Airlie this morning. The forecast was great, the tides right and it promised to be a 'milk run'. Wrong! The winds at Hammo were gusting over 30 kts and it looked like a washing machine out in the channel. Tomorrow will be fine......

| Visitor to the Anchorage |
Not long after we had made our decision a very interesting vessel entered the anchorage from the south with mainsail and genoa flogging. What made it interesting was he was towing his RIB (with outboard) and had fenders down both sides that looked like they had been out for the entire trip. He was not on his own but was the only one trying to manage the vessel. He made several 'missed approaches' and finally got all the sails down but not before we were becoming quite nervous about him getting too close. Not long after he happily motored up the channel to places unknown.
For lunch we decided to try making damper in the BBQ. Last time I tried this I nearly melted the BBQ so it was with considerable trepidation that we tried again. Perhaps i was a bit too cautious this time as it was a tad underdone and we decided to rename the product 'scones' and treat them accordingly. Suffice to say they still filled the empty stomachs.
