Well the
reasonable weather didn’t last long. We
woke up to a very misty morning (see photos on previous blog). Then it gradually deteriorated
into the usual totally overcast and raining day. Didn’t pour just drizzled here and
there. The wind got up a bit and we
wobbled around on our anchor. Our anchor
has held really well though. So it was a
good comfortable day with an occasional burst of wind.
When I
checked the ABC 7 day weather forecast for up here, it forecast rain until
Wednesday but at about 23% possibility, so that has really improved from the
70% possibility which was forecast at one stage.
Ian and I
have spent the day reading, knitting (just me!), washing (cockpit looks like a
laundry), looking out at the other boats especially now that there are seven of
us here. Two motor cruisers and five
monohulls. They are all crowded up at
the entrance.
Mr Billy
Goat Gruff – a brown and black goat, well we think he was a billy, came
prancing around the rocks near us and then disappeared, probably to somewhere
warmer. A lot of the islands up here
have wild goats. They were shooting
them, to clear them out of St Bees when Ian was over on Scawfell Island. Most of the islands are now National Parks,
so they are trying to get rid of them.
Tough job.
