Day 31: Pancake Creek

Up at 3.30am to give us a head start to Pancake Creek. This is going to take all day.

A bit lumpy to start with seas low at half a metre but with a short wavelength that put one hull at the top of a wave while the other was at the bottom. There was a good breeze on the beam, though, so I put the heady out for an assist. We made good speed at 6.5 to 7 knots. Wind and chop died down through the day so we ended up mainly on motor.

As fortune had it, we met up with Anum Cara at the creek's entrance and followed them in.

Every anchorage has a dickhead and we met ours when we anchored. Despite good separation, he moaned about how close we were - something about sailing on anchor which made no sense - we moved anyway. These places exist to enjoy.

Early night for Steve after a very long day.
