Day 160: Paradise Point

Currigee prove far too rough. It actually wasn't that uncomfortable on the boat but with high wind combined with tides running through the anchorage, I was concerned that the anchor would significantly drag. There is some evidence that it has already moved around in a limited area, always resetting. This is outstanding ground tackle but you can't be too careful.

Decided to give Paradise Point another go. The crossing was not as choppy as yesterday and, at low tide, the anchorage looked fairly calm. I knew it would pick up as the tide came in and uncovered the protective sandbank but decide to see how it goes. Dropped the anchor in 1m LAT with a good amount of chain for the expected 40 knot winds and settled in. Spent the day on the boat.

Blowy but a good spot.
