Bit of a lazy day. We plan to go to the Argentine Barbie at the pub tonight and, rather than a long dinghy ride in the dark, thought it might be a good idea to move Cat Play to the beach near the pub. As it goes, Gary had similar thoughts and had already scoped out Putney Beach. It's shallow but I calculated that, for the next couple of days, no tide will be low enough to put us on the bottom. We moved just after lunch.
Went ashore for a few hours in the afternoon for a coffee and a look-see. Island hasn't changed much in two years.

Came back for the barbie around 5.30 and met the crew of the Mercedes. Have been invited over for sundowners tomorrow on their two-deck trawler. I'll be interested to have a look at it. The barbie was very good, helped by the bottomless plate policy and the good company of our traveling companions.

Back on the boat, I climbed into bed when I heard a scraping noise. It was the anchor chain being dragged around as the tide turned. When I checked, I found that the chain had fallen off the bridle. As I sorted that out, I also noticed 4 good size squid hanging around the bow. I immediately broke out the squid jig and scored 2 of them. They're in the fridge awaiting lunch.
