13th Voyage - Motored to Mouth of Inlet

Peter J MacWilliam

Took Delaney for a sail out to the mouth of the inlet. It was a very successful sail. We did run aground once near the government wharf. You need to keep to the left of the green channel marker at that spot or you will run aground on the sandy shoal. It was no problem to get off the shoal and back on track. Once we arrived at the spot parallel to Martinique beach we sailed for a while. There were great big swells. It was exhilarating. The wind seemed a bit light, though and control of the boat was somewhat compromised by the swell and low winds (I think).
