What a great day.

Rolly again at this anchorage, but not as bad as before, and it was moderating all morning.  After organizing ourselves, we motored over to Nth end of Coulomb Bay, just as they were all leaving due to similar rolly conditions due to Bass St swell.  So turned and opened the headsail to sail back around the point, and into Spiers Nook but straight out again due to the obvious swell, and back into Chimney Corner and anchored there among a rapidly growing fleet of anchored boats of the rally.  The beach BBQ was planned for this area later, so stayed on here.  I went for a beach walk for 2 hrs during the afternoon, spoiled by March flies but it was still good and after some time back on board, we all went over to the beach BBQ and get together at the corner.  It was a good event in excellent conditions, and returned on board at dark, about 2100.  Hoisted the dinghy on deck to avoid the grind overnight, and it was all quiet; such a contrast to previous nights of howling wind, shrieking through the rigging etc. The anchorage is now a sea of lights in a remote island, normally deserted; quite a picture.
