At anchor ⚓

In the distance a large ship comes around the headland and slows down as it approaches the bay. And then a small boat appears and goes alongside to let a person jump aboard at sea level. This person is a Ship’s Pilot and has to help the ship’s captain steer the vessel safely into the harbour. Every day and night on every large boat keeps the pilots very busy.

Then we could hear people talking and so we looked all around. A group of canoes came closer to the yacht and everyone had a fishing line to catch fish. What a funny thing to do from such a tiny boat.

We were at anchor and spent most of the day learning how everything works. Sometimes we had to get a book out and read the instructions but eventually everything was working properly.

At the end of the day we inflated the rubber dinghy and set it afloat on the water. Tomorrow we will explore ashore.
