I went shopping in the morning and then relaxed in the afternoon thinking that I would head to the next bay when the winds dropped a bit, ie get the benefit of some stronger winds on the way but not anchor in them at the other end. I left at 6pm with the winds forecast to drop from 17 knot gusts from around 9pm (dusk). I had to motor over the anchor again - most satisfying - and had the engine off and genoa up within thirty seconds of returning to the cockpit. It was straight downwind from the anchorage and T times I only had 3 knots apparent but once I cleared the bay and made the turn into the main bit of the bay the wind picked up a btlit to around 10-12 knots apparent, still more or less behind me, ande.bowlong along at around 5 knots. the old dear did roll a bit in the following sea but it wasn't too bad and then I made the turn into Rougas and sailed to within about half a mile from the anchorage when I turned the engine on. I dropped the anchor in about 8m putting a little over 30m out plus the snubber, which I for the first time spread across both forward cleats. I had seen a french boat the previous day put the snubber on and then reverse which makes sense..I might try that one day
