BOUNTY ISLAND


Well, I'm finally away from Vuda Marina and am at nearby Bounty Island. The trip here was leisurely and the anchorage was easy-----at first.

It seems that the wind has decided to spring up and start bouncing me about. I find myself checking my GPS position as well as landmarks every few minutes to make sure I'm not dragging anchor. This is especially true as I can see a hungry looking reef not far away---and downwind!!!!

This may be an uncomfortable night.

Here is a picture of Bounty Island---before the wind picked up.


ps. I have deployed a secondary anchor for safety although I may have to deal with tangles later
