Slight drizzle..The anchor had really dug in which was excellent given the slight difficulty I had the night before in getting it to set properly. Went between the island and the mainland for the first time. No wind. I I had to reverse into the travel lift which required the usual 163 point turn but all ok. First impressions very good at Navar despite the forward strops slipping and breaking the cover of the anchor locker drain, which they said they would replace.

Hardly any wind although going up the ferry channel there was about 10-12 knots apparent. some drizzle. Ran the engine at 5 knots as wanted to give it a bit of a run before being haued tomorrow (all being well). there was a boat in my usual anchorage laying across the bay so would either have to be inside (very tight) or outside (potentially not protected) so I went to the next little cove along to the east. Some trouble with the anchor setting. it is only one night and there is no wind but I wanted to do it properly. I think I was just ploughing up the mud on the sea floor but on the second attempt the anchor stuck.

Very overcast conditions but no rain. no wind either except at the end of the channel leading to Perast but it was only funnelling and had died down to pretty much nothing by the time I had made the turn for the anchorage. anchored in about 14m. The anchor gripped immediately. Put down 45m of chain but will add more when the snubber goes on. The log has stopped working which presumably means something has got caught in it. Let's see if it has fallen off as a result of reversing down in the anchor, and / or sitting at anchor and the current from the nearby river or something washing it off

We had a swim and then it felt like there was a LITTLE breeze so we weighed an hour and headed off. we had the engine to just before the island and then sailed the rest of the way.

Gentle motor. we started in rain which quickly cleared up. we tried for some wind when we saw a dinghy sailing but no go at all. not a breath. stopped the island for a quick swim before returning to Port Montenegro later

wasn't sure whether to leave as pouring with rain but with Wenna not having seen Kotor we left..we motored through the channel towards Perast in about 18 knots on the nose but when we arrived at the other side there was very little wondm we sailed around the two small islands for a. it and then motored to Kotor. took ages to get the boat into the berth and was eventually pulled in by rope. not bevauae of any danger but because the Scottish neighbour was worried about the merino waiting for so long. as we arrived the sun came out..happy days
