Memorial Monday and we haven’t figured out where we are going to go for the night. This is how Kelley likes to boat. Untie – cruise – make a phone call or two – tie up and have dinner. Me, I want to know where, when and how long.

So, we go along, the weather is nice, the ride smooth, not much traffic, and now, we really need to locate a spot for the night. Kelley pulls out Skipper Bob’s anchorage book and picks a spot. Well, we couldn’t get the hook to hold and finally after trying to locate a marina where someone would answer the phone or the radio, Kelley decides that he needs to change out the anchor. We cruise on back to the same spot. Kelley has changed the anchor and guess what, it holds! He was so smart to buy another style!

We spent a quiet night on the hook. I am getting more comfortable with this. I might become a great sailor yet (well, maybe a less anxious one).
