After a lovely, quiet night, we slept in until 08:30, when John started his engine to charge his dying house battery bank. After breakfast, we rowed over to the SW-most of the Bunsby Islands to check out the beaches and the tide pools, which were glorious. I salvaged a 10-foot length of log boom chain, which a ring on one end and an anchor of some description on the other; not sure what I will do with it, but it could turn into some display art on the back porch at home. Matt and Julia found a perfectly good wet suit on the beach; I thought about salvaging that, too, but it was a serious, heavy duty wet-suit complete with permanently attached boots, so I doubt I could even get below water without a weight belt. We just left it on a log on the beach where we found it. We got back to the boat in time for a late lunch. Then, we upped anchor at and moved over to West Nook for the night, where we anchored at 15:28. The wind was SE 11, so we managed to sail the last couple of miles into the cove. Matt and Julia brought the Zodiac over from the beach and got to West Nook about the same time we did. The water temperature has dropped to 14.6 deg F, so nobody felt like going for a swim. We did not receive enough quality sunshine to heat up the solar showers, so no solace there. We had an early evening and listened to a bit of “Letters from Wingfield Farm” on Massilia, as the showers began.
