The forecast showed lots of rain coming in with an overnight wind shift from the north. We figured where we were anchored was more or less the best place to be. We did shift the anchor further into the bay to give us more room to swing in all directions. Sagittarius came past and Bob and Lynette swung by to say hello. They’d found the anchorage by the village rolly and had a bad nights sleep so they’d returned to the Bay of Islands for some flat water. They were too tired to be social yesterday. We may meet up today.
I did a little more fishing off the back of the boat and snagged an small emperor sweet lips which went in the bag in the freezer with the previous day’s grouper. With the boat swinging around in the variable winds the hook / weight would drag on the sea bed and I lost two sets of weights / hooks in rock/coral.
The rest of the day was spent reading and playing cards.
Looking further out the weather looks temperamental for the next few days. We expect some light northerlies for the weekend with some rain. It looks like another front will come through Monday evening followed by light southerlies. Sometime after that we’ll need to leave. We would like to put in another visit to the village and maybe take the truck overland to Lomolomo on the other side of the island which goes on Mon,Wed,Fri. We’ll see. May not work out.
