WhimSea's Log

We awoke well rested and in a wonderful anchorage on Marina Shoal off Raspberry island. The wind was fair for us to continue here for a bit longer, so we enjoyed our coffee and breakfast and talked of dropping a couple of lines in the water. Why not try and catch something while we sat and enjoyed the morning.

We prepared the poles for dropping lines and as we did so, one of the lines went overboard without being attached to the pole! Luckily the bobber was attached, so Troy dropped in the dinghy and set about its retrieval. There was considerable wind as well as current to help the bobber and line head out to see much quicker then we thought and Troy had to go quite far to retrieve it, but he eventually returned successful.

Afterwards we sat and watched the bobbers travel about the boat, with nary a bite.

The wind began to come up from a contrary direction and we considered other areas to anchor, but most were receiving swell yet from the northeast (despite the contrary wind) and eventually we returned to the same shoal to spend another evening on that blessedly wonderful anchorage.

That night we enjoyed an excellent dinner and a good O'Brien story on the radio before heading to a good nights sleep.
