We have had a very relaxing day in Refuge Cove (not Bay as earlier mentioned), waiting for the 25 to 30 knot SW breeze to ease.. The attempts to repair the headsail furler have failed, although we can now manually furl, and so have unfurled the sail and taken it down. Craig and I got the dinghy out and Craig rowed us to shore (the outboard was in too difficult a place to get out). We walked up to a spot on the hill where we could see the boat and took lots of photos of Napea, these are on Craig's camera so will have to wait until he puts them on his computer so that I can use them on the blog. While there we enjoyed a nice glass of Chardonnay! Craig had a swim (water was 16 C), but I chose to look after the dinghy. Another couple were on their yacht in the cove, they are heading back to their home in Melbourne, having sailed the boat from New Caledonia. We plan to have some dinner and will then leave Refuge Cove heading to Portland.

What a gentleman Craig can be ;) Refuge Cove is supposed to be one of the loveliest spots on our coastline - you chose well. Can't wait for more photos. You'll have to use some muscles for the heady, now... Enjoy the Chardy.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you're not missing out on life's little luxuries, even if you do still have to do hard labour such as rowing the boat. Safe sailing.
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean you're sailing under main only. Napea looks absolutely beautiful. Must have been so romantic, sipping Chardonnay from ashore. Xxx
