Up in reasonable time for breakfast,chewed over what to do,the weather. Outside was not the best,strong NW wind all yesterday and forecast 6 meter SW swell,fortunately going down.
Went over to Banjoes for a coffee and a muffin.
Decided to go for a Harbour tour and then have a look,Most of the fleet staying put in the Harbour.
Went over to Mill Bay after the boys wandered up to get a couple of last minute things.Biggs wanted to check out a burnt ab boat like Rods anchored there,caught fire at the jetty bo all accounts,the fire brigade did a good job to put it out.Motored around the bay looking at all the boats there,thought we saw Ron Morrison over on his fleet but we were too far away to be sure.
Decided to go and have a look out side,out through Hells Gates and over the Bar.Not too bad until we got nearly to Cape Sorell,the seas were really really standing up and breaking on the top,copped a couple over the bow ,probably 7 meters,decided disgression was in order and then had to turn round,found a nice flat spot and headed back in,No Hibbs today.
Learned the lesson and anchored in the Back Channel for the night,a couple of othe boats arrived to keep us company,tried to catch some bait but no result.
Had a quiet dinner and turned in.
Anchored in the Back Channel.
