By the time we had signed the final counter offer, it was noon. Ordinarily, we wouldn’t leave an anchorage this late in the day, but the weather conditions are perfect today, and tomorrow its predicted to get really windy, so we’ve decided to take a chance on making Hunter Bay by this evening.
When Al went to pull the anchor, the anchor wash down pump threw a circuit breaker. Not a huge problem, but we didn’t want to put that filthy chain and anchor in our nice clean anchor locker. So, Al located the spare fuses and had the pump working without too much delay. The seas were absolutely flat calm all the way to Hunter Bay. By 1800 hrs we were anchored and enjoying the fact that we had Hunter Bay all to ourselves.
