The winds and waves were still strong and I was unsure of where to go. Paul from Tangaroa came by for an espresso and he convinced me that Anegada was the place to go and we decided to head up there at 10:00. I wasn’t optimistic about the weather so put in a bit too many reefs for the conditions, but still had a rocking passage up to Anegada with the speed rarely going below 8knots. As my boat has more LWL than Tangaroa, I arrived at the outer markers somewhat earlier than he did so I dropped the anchor and did cleanup tasks until he arrived, then we transited the rather tricky and shallow entrance together. I managed to find a weak internet connection and exchanged some e-mails with Germany, then went ashore for a walk around and somehow, magically, ended up sitting at Potter’s bar and didn’t get any further until it was time for dinner! Paul and I had dinner together and, while pricey, it was a perfect ending for a great sailing day and comfortable day on the islands.
