Escape from Pig Island

Timothy Harkness

The anchor seemed to be dragging and we were too close to the cliffs, so after some rearrangements we released the stern lines, pulled up the anchor, and sailed to another island where there was a beach. The sail took place in the last hours of the day. We arrived after the sun had set, in the twilight, but still had time to set the anchor securely and are now anchored off the beach. The island was a lot of fun. We fed the pigs; they were boisterous and it was enjoyable to engage with the wildlife, but it was the right decision to leave.
