We are on our way to the special reef of Beverage. It is just a circular reef with a beautiful lagoon of white sand to anchor in. There is only land at low tide! But I hear the lobsters are incredible, and the diving is perfect!!
So when we were leaving Palmerston there were a couple of interesting things that happened. When you tie up to one of their moorings they request/require you to lower your anchor to just off the bottom so that if the mooring fails your anchor might hook something before you wash up on the reef. The concept is good, but in actuality an anchor with no scope has a limited possibility of hooking anything. Anyway early on our departure morning I slipped the mooring lines off and let the offshore breeze slowly push us out to sea. Shannon saw a Dorado jump clean out of the water so we put out or lures, hoisted the sails and enjoyed a fresh breeze! The wind picked up to 25 knots and we had a great time surfing the swells. That evening though as I was laying in bed trying to fall asleep I remembered that the anchor was still down!!! Now all I have to do is find a way to blame it on Cassidy or Wolf!
Until next time.
Courage
