Admiralty Bay, Bequia, The Grenadines

Happy Birthday to Kevin’s brother Phil, hope you have a good day!

I checked our new Delta anchor though and it is dug in extremely well, the vis wasn’t great though and I didn’t see much life apart from that. We are just waiting for the wind to die down for a proper dive. Kevin went in to inspect the damage too and also fitted some chain markers (so you can tell how much chain is out) that we’d been waiting for the opportunity to put on. Just to show you how windy it has been, we have 30m of chain out in 4m of water (7:1 scope). Our neighbour, a boat from Ipswich, UK reckons he had 60m (9:1) of chain out! This seemed a bit excessive to me in a crowed anchorage, but actually he hasn’t swung much at all.

We did a bit of cleaning and caught up on a few jobs before catching up on the next adventure of Jack Aubrey, with the wind finally calming that evening.
