We spent several days anchored at Waterloo Bay waiting for Gale winds to pass. We were tucked up at the Southernmost end of the bay that provided excellent protection. With gust of up to 74knots offshore with swells to 3m, our anchorage remained calm and safe the whole time we were here. Good holding on a sandy ( in someplaces weedy bottom.

On Saturday we took the dinghy in and walked along the beach and around the cove into Little Waterloo Bay and explored the campground there. After returning to the dinghy, we explored the beach in our Cove( only accessible by boat and went and visited some seals sun baking off the Rocks close by. 
On Sunday it was very wet and gale force winds offshore. The clouds cover was very low on the bay and surrounding hills so we stayed on the boat.

 Monday was a lot nicer day patches of blue sky and abating winds. We did paperwork and filing in the morning and went for a walk on the beach in the afternoon. Also assembled safety equipment including Dan boy, Jack lines and life cell ahead of our passage to Deal island the next day.
