I left in a building westerly. Unlike at Porto Montenegro a few days before, this time I dropped the stern lines (I had help from a worker nearby) and then motored forward slowly and dropped the slime lines. By the time I was in clear water I had 18-20 knots on the nose. I tidied up the fenders and stern lines and decided it was as good a time as any to do some sailing to make sure everything was working ok. I got the full.main up with about 2 reefs in the Genoa and sailed up and down a couple of times. The wind was between 15 and 20 knots. I put in a reef to make sure everything was set up correctly and it was messy as I rebooted the sail before tightening the outhaul. I sorted that out and then took the reef out again as the wind began to drop. I dropped the main and sailed down the channel to the anchorage under Genoa. It took several attempts to set the anchor, even though it was stuck in when I came to lift it to reset. I suspect it was just ploughing up the mud. On the third or fourth attempt it set really well. it was only then I realised it was 5pm and I hadn't eaten or drunk anything since breakfast
