Wednesday 8th June
We arrived at Goldsmith late Tuesday night. We could see by the lights there was only three other boats in the bay, so we found our place in the middle of the bay.
Early this morning one of the boats on a mooring left so we rapidly hauled anchor and grabbed the mooring. This gave us the ability to swap our anchors. It took four of us to safely unhook the Rochna anchor and replace it with the new Sarka. The Sarka is supposed to be better at resetting in sand, which all these bays up here are.
Liz swam to shore and back while Jack and Toni snorkeled the edge of the bay. Later Andrew and Liz went ashore in the dinghy and met a couple that offered us some tuna they had caught.
We’ve had several visits from a few turtles today, just chilling in their home patch.
