Last night we were shooting for Murray Labyrinth but came up short by a mile. Really, we were just too tired to try to figure out the entrance at low tide - so - we took the safe route and dropped our anchor in Allison Harbor. Very nice anchorage. Got up this morning and listened to weather -- not great but not awful. Still enough wind and wave forecast to cause us to go back to bed! And we were ready for a day off.
Got up again around seven and used the day to putter. The list of things requiring fixing is remarkable short. A light in a cabinet, a light in a shower, ignition on a stove burner. You have to admit we are talking about small stuff. All day the weather changed from rain to sun to more rain. We contemplated taking the dinghy out to explore the area and then the rain came down. Late in the afternoon the sun came out and we decided to explore the area in the BIG boat. We found our way into Murray Labyrinth - what a charming place with a challenging entrance - but once you are in - well you are snug. We then decided to explore Miles Inlet - so we retraced our steps out of Murray Labyrinth and headed north 5 miles. The seas were rough enough that we were glad to have opted for a layover day. Dropped the hook around 5:30 in Miles Inlet - another stunning anchorage that is very sheltered. Poured a glass of wine and watched Otto the Otter play for almost 2 hours. What fun! Quiet night at anchor. Looks like the weather should be nice tomorrow.
