Lay day at Three Hummock. and

The next morning dawned grey and windy.

We were anchored in four meters of water the boat nearest to the windward shore.
The weather forecast was not very good for travelling south until the day after,we spent the day reading and mucking about the boat.Chris cooked up a fish and chip meal for lunch,he said he worked in a fish and chip shop once so they were reall good,washed down with a bottle of white wine.
We had a snooze after lunch to pass the time.
A few brave souls arrived from Stanley and a couple elected to make a run for Strahan.

There was much discussion on the radio as to find the best time to make a run for it.
The yachts really need to time their arrival at the entrance of Macquarie Harbour in daylight as it is hard enough to navigate the channel without adding the Black night problems.The moon now waning an coming up late anyway.

We decided we would leave the following day and decide if to stay a night on the coast when we were under way.

Photo is the boats behind us ,a couple came and a couple left,so numbers about 20 there.
Quite a few holed up in Stanley.
